#2 Sorry, No Space Elevators

Considering how geeky Google’s X Lab is, a article in New York Times once talked of Google’s elevators to space project, which is promptly denied by Google anyway.

“Some of the hallway whiteboards are filled with diagrams of that multigenerational nerd fantasy: space elevators. Media outlets have speculated that Google X is working on such contraptions, which would involve giant cables that connect the earth to orbiting space platforms. Google X is working on no such project, but employees have embraced the concept,” the report read.

#1 Google Car’s Successful Maneuver

The Google’s driverless car was long been in news in the form of rumors but not so much was told about its actual test drive. But with Stone having a first hand experience on what exactly it feels to be a passenger of driverless cars, the secrete is out.  

The car, a white Lexus RX450h with a $65,000 laser range finder on the roof, he said that, it cruised at 55 miles per hour on Silicon Valley’s crowded 101 freeway, manicuring intelligently around curves and even around vehicles. However the co-passenger, Chris Urmson, the head of the autonomous cars project, is unperturbed. “Google believes in and enables us to do things that wouldn’t be possible in academia,” says Urmson, a former assistant research professor at Carnegie Mellon. Google co-founders Page and Sergey Brin “have this idea that incremental improvements are not good enough. The standard for success is whether we can get these into the world and do audacious things.” He also revealed that Brin is actually thinking of commercially getting this car out in 5 years.
