Marc Andreessen (board member at Hewlett-Parckard) explains why software is eating the world. Both moves are also in line with a trend Ive observed,

#Google Unveils Honeycomb Tablet Google unveiled Honeycomb, the first version of its Android software specifically designed to run on tablets.
Google has launched an operating system it hopes will break into the tablet computer market dominated by Apple. The company showcased the first version of its Android software specifically designed to run on tablets yesterday.
During a highly-anticipated press event at its headquarters in Mountain view, California, Google also introduced a new way for developers to make money by building applications that run on Android.
Google said Android developers will now be able to sell consumers goods from directly within their apps,
which Google gives away to hardware vendors and which became the number one smartphone operating system in the fourth quarter of 2010, according to research firm Canalys.
Whether Google can do the same in the tablet market will depend on the support its new Honeycomb gets from manufacturers

By then, Thrun and Levandowski were both working for Google. The driverless car project occupies a lofty, garagelike space in suburban Mountain view.
It s part of a sprawling campus built by Silicon graphics in the early nineties and repurposed by Google, the conquering army, a decade later.

#When Thrun and Levandowski first came to Google, in 2007, they were given a simpler task:
Google engineers went on to jury-rig some vans with G. P. S . and rooftop cameras that could shoot in every direction.
and sent them all over the United states. Google street view has since spread to more than a hundred countries. It s both a practical tool and a kind of magic trick#spyglass onto distant worlds.
which Google had been leasing from companies like navteq. The street and exit names could be drawn straight from photographs
but Google maps had to be comprehensive: every logging road logged on a computer, every gravel drive driven down.
Street view and Maps were logical extensions of a Google search. They showed you where to locate the things you d found.
So they sent a delegation to the US, to Apple, to Microsoft, to Google, and they asked the people there who were inventing the future about themselves.
According to Eric Schmidt of Google, every two days now the human race creates as much information as we did from the dawn of civilisation until 2003.

And with that, Levandowski has handed off control of his vehicle to software named Google Chauffeur. He takes his feet off the pedals and puts his hands in his lap.
It s not just Google that s developing the technology, but also most of the major car manufacturers:
Following Google policy, Levandowski drives through residential roads and surface streets himself, while Chauffeur drives the freeways.
#Levandowski works at Google s headquarters in Mountain view, California. He s the business lead of Google s self-driving-car project, an initiative that the company has been developing for the better part of a decade.
Google has a small fleet of driverless cars now plying public roads. They are test vehicles,
but they are also simply doing their job: ferrying Google employees back and forth from work. Commuters in Silicon valley report seeing one of the cars#asily identifiable by a spinning turret mounted on the roof#n average of once an hour.
Google itself reports that collectively the cars have driven more than 500,000 miles without crashing. At a ceremony at Google headquarters last year, where Governor Jerry brown signed California s self-driving-car bill into law, Google cofounder Sergey Brin said#oeyou

In the language particular to Google, the researchers are#oedogfooding#the car#riving to work each morning in the same way that Levandowski does.
Google needs to put the car in the hands of ordinary drivers in order to test the user experience.
#oewe have a saying here at Google, #says Levandowski.##oein God we trust#ll others must bring data.#
Chris Urmson, the director of Google s self-driving-car project, told a government audience in Washington, D c,
Google s crew of young testers have been trained in extreme driving techniques#ncluding emergency braking, high-speed lane changes,
There has been reported only one accident that can conceivably be blamed on Google. A self-driving car near Google s headquarters rear-ended another Prius with enough force to push it forward
and impact another two cars, falling-dominoes style. The incident took place two years ago#he Stone age,
in the foreshortened timelines of software development#nd, according to Google spokespeople, the car was not in self-driving mode at the time,
Considering that the Google self-driving program has clocked already half a million miles, the argument could be made that Google Chauffeur is already as safe as the average human driver.
It s not an argument Google makes to the public because Levandowski says the system hasn encountered t enough challenging situations in its real-world commutes.#
#oewe can speculate; we have models, but we don t actually know the value of the technology to society,
#Google has been uncommonly secretive about its self-driving-car program. Though it began in 2009,
#Google is still not saying much to reporters (including this one) about its plans, but since it was accused of being the bad guy in a real-life Matrix,
Google lobbyists have made the rounds with legislators in Washington. Its engineers have made pilgrimages to Detroit and abroad.
Google wants to make#oeavailable to the rest of the auto industry all of the building blocks that we ourselves use,
if Google is proposing to give away the software. For the car companies, the real cost of implementing the technology would be specialized in the peripheral that Chauffeur needs to run:
But at $75, 000 to $85, 000 each, Google s lidar costs more than every other component in the self-driving car combined, including the car itself.
A grizzled maverick of an engineer named David Hall designed the lidar that Google uses.
Industry scuttlebutt has it that Ford is giving Google the most serious consideration. Hall confirms that a major automaker recently summoned him to its headquarters to ask
Google, to its credit, shows no signs that it s allowing Detroit to slow it down.
Google is not a car manufacturer. Nor does it intend to be one, Levandowski says. So what s the plan?#
#In other words, Google thinks a new generation of bot-rodders may kick things off. Google won t say anything more,
but since there s really only one place to turn for the all-important lidar, I ask David Hall
and the super-high-resolution Google maps that go with it, Hall doesn t see the point. He imagines talking to potential customers.#
#oe#Almost as good as Google s?##The other fight is the legal one. It too is filled with catch-22 s. Hall described a Powerpoint presentation containing the automaker s analysis of self-driving-car technology.#
