Park and Earn money, What?!
With Google working on "Smart Charging" software I have my ears up. They are swiftly gaining control of everything we enjoy and use. Kind of like what Microsoft got sued for a couple years back with its software being attached to too much for competitors to compete. I mean its good that Google wants to keep us from that "Hot Summer Day Air-Conditioner" disaster people in major cities sometimes suffer from so maybe Google is representing the next level of online companies in more ways than we even know possible yet. Google is also creating the worlds fastest network with testing beginning in cities around the US.
So what does that mean? One company has the possibility of being in charge of your mini-pc or cell phone, electricity, cars, internet connection and all the other intellectual property Google owns.
Lets all pray and meditate that Google holds to its original premise of having the best useful applications for FREE! Now that would make this all a UTOPIA in planning. And you all said it wasn't possible.
