Park and Earn money, What?!
Yes, cars of the future will not only be electric travel long distances on a single charge but will also be "powering up the grid" while parked! Cars of the future will be portable batteries for everything attached to the grid, which in essence does not sound like a bad idea.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.
