Your kidding right, Google Search, what did we have before that, Lycos, WebCrawler, Excite, AltaVista, etc. yeah, admit it or not but Google Search redefined how we used the web. Nowadays we have decent options like DuckDuckGo, Bing, Yahoo, etc. but I got to tell you when I'm working, as in coding, I always use Google as nothing finds what I want faster than Search. A lot of these projects that you say fail are actually things that employees start. Google's internal infrastructure is setup as such that they encourage their employees to come with new ideas. If there good enough than they go on their site as a beta service, if it fails it doesn't mean Google doesn't know what their doing, most of the time these projects get migrated into something else anyway. The only thing it really costs Google for these so called failed services is network usage, server time, and employee hours, all things that Google has an abundance of.
That's all good and well Relic, and I agree in part, but they need to have the vision on top of where they are going and end up creating something useful. Because every company has or aims to have their people innovate. The vision at the top is clearly very much lacking. One picture of Larry Page aping at this wedding with the glasses speaks volumes. Of course google redefined search, because above all, and I remember myself the first time I used it at uni and then getting everyone to use it, was that it was simple and effective, clutterless UI that highlighted the actual words you looked for, or via using the near, not, ""etc. operator you used to find them.
But since then they 've redefined privacy invasion and are also inexplicably crippling their search via removing useful features like search forums and user groups. And don't get me started on android, their support, or lack there off, etc. etc. Their search engine stuff based on some advanced data mining (also studied that at Uni) algorithms I am quite sure his CS prof dad had some input in was, about 16 years ago, that's about 100 in the tech world... But after that you need a business plan, a vision of where you are going, you need to create a desktop os that's worth it's salt, products, build on privacy and security for your users and devs, choose not 10,000 but 1 product that's your own creation to market and sell, they 've done f. all in terms of that. What's their pride and joy? A mail web client? Copying the idiocy that Zuckerberg came up with, and having it fail?
Let's not forget the discussion started by Page making a huge faux pas, to say the least. Nobody came here in an uncalled for way to attack him, all the more so when Schmidt personifies the evil google so to speak. Seems though that Page isn't too far off. What he said in this interview, any way you cut it, was incredibly stupid thing, again, to say the least. He deserves all the anger and f. offs that have come his way. I for once, will make a point any of my future dev projects to stay well clear of anything google, and if I have to release anything for their platform, that will be as a courtesy to the users who not knowing any better bought in, and of course it will be prioritised at the very bottom of my list, if at all. All the money Larry Schmidt (not a mistake) might have he can't talk down on anyone as if they were an idiot and can't see through their rubbish, and of course he can't offend Steve's memory by painting himself the innovator and humanitarian that's just spreading himself too thin with all the great humanitarian projects on his table, and apple some sort of money grabbing product making machine.
All the best, and thanks for your continued contrarian input.
The trailer part. Unless they automate the trailer somehow. Plus distribution center lots aren't mapped.
If people can figure out a way to drive a vehicle at speed, safely on public roads with no human involvement. Getting it to line up with a trailer doesn't seem to be out of the realms of possibility. Nor does mapping a distribution centre. Although I'm not even sure its actually required. The original project the tech these cars are based on didn't use any mapping data. They had to get from one point to another by scanning the surroundings to see what was there and figure out a root, a bit like a person walking. Satnav data obviously is being used on the road cars to get the shortest root. But everything else is done with sensors on the car.

Thank you, though to be honest I had to look up what contrarian meant, my new English word of the day. You nailed me perfectly, I recently watched Word War Z, a horrible movie, but there was scene between Brad Pit and an Israeli official, he explained that they have a policy, where as if the members of the high council all agree on an issue there has to be an appointed person within the group that will always disagree, even if he's wrong. He therefore has to explore all aspects of the opposing vote and then present this different point of view to the others, the 12th juror scenario, you know, from 12 Angry Men. As you can plainly see I am not a fan of stern points of views, when it comes to technology. Comments that contain; I hate this and that's it, nothing could possibly change my mind. As a person who explores all avenues of technology I always find the good in the product that I'm using. There is also not many people who do what I do with gadgets. When a person sees a tablet, he thinks oh I can run this app and that app, when I see a tablet, I'm thinking; ooh, NAS server, web server, a node for my cluster, etc. I explore the underpins of every device that I.
