- Google’s ambitions with this technology are astronomically high: they aim to reduce car-related accidents by 90%, reduce time wasted by commuting by 90% and reduce the number of cars by 90%. If this technology only achieves half of those goals, it’ll have a massive impact on mobility, society, geography and the economy as we know it. Hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved and trillions of miles could be spent reading, sleeping, working or doing anything else.
For a technology with such a massive potential impact on our daily lives, it’s shocking how little of the technology is properly understood.
I've worked on this for the past months, on and off, and after lots of polishing I'm really happy with the result. Huge thanks to kleinbl00 for helping me shape this, and everyone who actively commented in the past discussions on this topic.

Google scares the crap out of me in that, as I might have said before, it pretty much runs my life and I'm complacent about it. All of the apps work so well with one another that I don't feel like switching to anything else. Which is probably really bad. Sharing this article everywhere.
