BBC News - Google is to start building its own self-driving carsIt's important to note that Google isn't planning on producing consumer vehicles, so while they're making themselves more liable if their research vehicles collide with someone, they aren't setting themselves up for a consumer-product liability burden in the future.
It'll be built by Asus, and will crash as soon as you start it up.
A recent quote said they aren't planning on mass producing those vehicles and sell them to consumers.
I'm dubious about everything Google does these days. I mean, not in a tin-foil-hat sort of way, but some of the stuff they undertake is a bit... quizzical. I mean, they basically enable the modern world to function, are putting tons of money into advanced robotics, are slowly buying up new business segments and infrastructure projects and blow money on vanity projects while masquerading as altruistic (well, as altruistic you can get for a for-profit company) innovators.A recent quote said they aren't planning on mass producing those vehicles and sell them to consumers.
You can add the odd share restructuring to this making it that share holders won't be able to stop the founders from doing whatever they want.I'm dubious about everything Google does these days.

There's a catch somewhere. And if not, there will be when some non-benevolent CEO takes over in some years and we start having to pay access fees for the GoogleNet and things slowly slide down hill.
Ain't nothin' free...Good does awesome stuff in the Bay Area. They're going to roll out free public WiFi in all the SF parks (it's already available in some areas). It's badass.

Watchdogs IRLAin't nothin' free...
The dues will come, eventually. Even if it's as simple as Google knowing every piece of information about you because they license the technology to control refrigerators with RFID inventory systems, know your shopping habits at all major retail outlets, know what type of music you listen too, etc.
NSA, bah, amateurs. Google is doing just fine with willful participants.
