Google I/O 2015 - Helping Moonshots Survive Contact with the Real World

Speaker(s):
Astro Teller

Description:
Venture inside Google[x] for an in-depth conversation with Astro Teller, Captain of Moonshots, who will discuss one of the hardest parts of the innovation process -- the part where you come into contact with the real world, and learn what's wrong with what youÕve done so far. He'll explain why failure is so important to the innovation process at Google[x], and how we relentlessly seek out contact with the harsh realities of weather, physics, humanity, and much more, because so much of what we have to learn can't be predicted by a book, taught in school or observed in a lab. He'll illustrate this by sharing hard-earned lessons from Project Loon, the self-driving car, Makani and more.

Astro Teller, you're inspiring, as always. When you say that your team can't improve anymore on your autonomous vehicles getting rear-ended, I'm not sure that's necessarily the case. People are involved in fatal rear-end collisions all the time. Perhaps you could find a way to pre-emptively protect the vehicle when it senses that a massive force is about to impact its rear by deploying some kind of active countermeasure? Or maybe you guys have already thought about this and have weighed the cost/benefit and decided it's better not to?
