Google used to have such a strong visual brand with their fresh, bright, clean, and utilitarian aesthetic. Material Design really annoys me. Dingy grey backgrounds, unnecessary boxes and shadows, and goofy animation that takes us bad to the

In the short term I can see how an incredibly well-made car with AR tech would make people want to own them. Long term however I believe cars will just be a shared network of autonomous vehicles for moving people and things. In other words
