Finally! The Future Is Here! Google cars!

Google has been testing cars that drive themselves. I think this is an awesome concept but cars by Google? It seems a bit odd. In class, we talked about the failure of Xerox trying to launch a computer brand. This failed because people associated Xerox with copy machines, not computers. How does the brand Google apply here? Would any of you drive a car made by Google?

Now these cars are only driving themselves in traffic. This means while a commuter is stuck in traffic on the way to or from work, they can relax by watching TV, playing on the Internet, or doing other things besides paying attention to the road. Personally, I think this is a horrible idea. First of all, I would never buy a car made by Google. Second of all, if these cars launch, they will probably be very expensive. And third of all, I do NOT want to know what some people will be doing while stuck in traffic and not driving because then I'll be distracted and probably get into a wreck.

Google, please stick to the computers and leave the cars to the pros.
