The revolutionary projects that Google is currently working on.
People love Google for the mass of solutions that have made our lives better. For example, Google Maps helps us deal with the route, Gmail has greatly simplified work with mail, forcing AOL, Yahoo and other mail services to become better and more convenient. Now CEO Larry Page has decided to take on problems that can really change the whole world, not just your laptops. From an unmanned vehicle that will reduce the number of road incidents, to biotechnological research aimed at fighting aging, these incredible projects can change our understanding of technology and how we use them in everyday life.
Google is on the verge of a transport revolution with its unmanned vehicles : thanks to this technology, we could see a huge reduction in the number of deaths on the roads each year, a decrease in road congestion, and an increase in fuel efficiency. The only problem: the equipment installed on the Google test car costs about $ 150,000.

This is almost impossible to believe, but two thirds of the world's population still does not have access to the Internet. What does Google offer? Launch balloons that provide network access to the upper layers of the atmosphere, which could provide a more extensive coverage than any range of the cellular communications tower. Moreover, in case of natural disasters such equipment would be repaired quickly enough.
Google Fiber has given US ISPs a reason to invest in improving their products. Just as broadband Internet has given us YouTube, Netflix, and video chat, the transition to gigabit speeds provides opportunities and reasons for completely new categories of startups.
Google Now . Instead of waiting passively for your search query, it knocks out your habits, searches for queries, e-mails, and gives you information that you may need. After several weeks of use, it will set reminders for your favorite TV shows, recommend restaurants when you walk around the city in the evening, and so on. Although it sounds scary, but changes in notifications in Apple's iOS 7 suggest that this is likely to become the norm.
As we saw on Moto X, Google is interested in listening to us and our environment in order to make finding information and managing services (using Google’s voice assistant) even easier.
Google Glass expects your teams in the same way. By integrating this technology with Google Now, Google is building a future in which we have instant access to relevant information based on what we can see and hear.
Google Glass also allows real-time translation of a foreign language. This means that two people who speak completely different languages ​​could communicate without a translator. Also while traveling you will be able to look at various signs in other languages ​​and understand them immediately.
In the aftermath of major disasters, the Google Crisis Response team makes an assessment of the situation and finds out how best Google can deploy its resources to help those in need. By helping people find their loved ones, and access to vital resources, Google showed the world that technology companies can do much more for the world than just create fashionable gadgets and more efficient applications to work with.
Google hopes to take control of aging and even death with the launch of its new startup Calico , which is short for California Life Company. The company will be headed by Arthur Levinson, chairman of the board of directors and former CEO of biotech giant Genentech, and chairman of the board at Apple.
And thanks for this all Android since He is the main driver of Google’s success lately.
