When you try to do something ten per cent better, you tend to work from where you are: if I ask you to make a car that goes 50 miles a gallon, you can just retool the engine you already have.

People text when they're meant to actually be driving. So imagine what they do when they think the car's got it under control.
If you want to explore things you haven't explored, having people who look just like you and think just like you is not the best way.
We don't take on Google Glass or the self-driving car project or Project Loon unless we think that on a risk-adjusted basis, it's worth Google's money to do it.
Google Glass is the wearable computer that responds to voice commands and displays information on a visual display.
The future is all about leading a stress-free life and having all the solutions for all problems at hand.
Going from an error rate of 25 meters in GPS to 2.5 meters is huge. Going to 25 centimeters is going to matter just as much.
We're excited about how tech can be used to get tech out of the way.
I grant that people are generally uncomfortable with how fast privacy issues are changing in the world, but Google Glass is not going to move the needle on that.
There's no point having something worn on your body - that's a big ask - unless you can give people something they really couldn't get otherwise. It has to be qualitatively better for it to be worn.
