#Marc Andreessen explains why software is â eating the worldâ##Groupon, Facebook, and Linkedin investor Marc Andreessen.

Google plans to buy up the cellphone handset maker Motorola Mobility. Hewlett-packard and Googles moves surprised the tech world.

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,

which has invested in Facebook, Groupon, Skype, Twitter, Zynga, and Foursquare, among others. I am also personally an investor in Linkedin.

when I was at Netscape, the company I co-founded. In the next 10 years, I expect at least five billion people worldwide to own smartphones,

Now its been joined by Groupon, Living Social, Foursquare and others, which are using software to eat the retail marketing industry.

Groupon generated over $700 million in revenue in 2010 after being in business for only two years.

And the creation of software-powered driverless cars is already under way at Google and the major car companies.

and Android (especially in a world where Google owns a major handset maker). In some industries, particularly those with a heavy real-world component such as oil and gas, the software revolution is primarily an opportunity for incumbents.

Its not an accident that many of the biggest recent technology companies#ncluding Google, Amazon, ebay and more#re American companies.

#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

Google now has more than 100,000 apps available for Android devices, versus Apples catalogue of more than 300,000.

#Google s self-driving car. Human beings make terrible drivers. They talk on the phone and run red lights,

#Levandowski is an engineer at Google X, the company s semi-secret lab for experimental technology.

As a sophomore, he won a national robotics competition with a machine made out of Legos that could sort Monopoly money#fair analogy for what he s been doing for Google lately.

He was one of the principal architects of Street view and the Google maps database, but those were just warmups.#

The Google car is an old-fashioned sort of science fiction: this year s model of last century s Make it belongs to the gleaming,

I was told by Ron Medford, a former deputy administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration who now works for Google.

is the founder of the Google Car project. A wunderkind from the west German city of Solingen, he programmed his first driving simulator at the age of twelve.

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.

Google guards its secrets more jealously than most. At the gourmet cafeterias that dot the campus, signs warn against#oetailgaters##orporate spies who might slink in behind an employee before the door swings shut.

the cofounder of Google, told me. Brin was dressed in a charcoal hoodie, baggy pants, and sneakers.

#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.

#Google s quest to popularize self-driving cars How a self-driving car sees the world.

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

can count on one hand the number of years until ordinary people can experience this.##In other words, a self-driving car will be parked on a street near you by 2018.

Yet releasing a car will require more than a website and a#oeclick here to download#button.

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.#

The Google car doesn t work without one, as Chauffeur needs to be able to hand back the reins with 10,20,

Some states, prodded by Google lobbyists and looking to get ahead of the curve, have made the cars explicitly legal.

the director of Google s self-driving-car project, allows. But that doesn t mean the development of potentially lifesaving technology should be halted.#

Level three has the Google-style autopilot. And level four is the holy grail#he car that can drive you home

who worked with Google on its self-driving-car project for two years.##oepeople start doing all kinds of things they shouldn t#igging around in the backseat, for example.

#Google is betting that established car manufacturers, working with low-cost radar and camera components, will never adequately bridge that gap.

NHTSA s former deputy director, Ron Medford, has signed just on as Google s director of safety for the self-driving-car project.#
