>> that is google's most audacious step forward and this was created after sergey brin, the google cofoundertook over google x. and the idea here is that we have a car that drives in the city and provides services, transportation services, on demand, like a taxi without a driver. it is making amazing progress. >> to what extent was that car a pivot from your car? >> it was a pivot. i was more interested in highway driving. i felt that 86% of transportation takes place on highways. but it turns out there are many car companies working on the same topic. we are taking the audacious here by saying that if you can solve inner-city driving you can solve so much of transportation. and you can possibly eliminate car ownership of the way that we know it. i think it is a great vision. >> will we see self driving cars on the road? on a grand scale? >> i think it will happen fast. so i think that within 15 years you can see cities full of self driving cars where transportation is really on demand. where you do not have to own a car anymore. >> i want to talk about when larry page met you because he act

showing pictures of sergey brin wearing google glass. he's a burning man guy.ah jessica parker wearing them, she looks like a dork. emily chang, she's beautiful. looks ridiculous wearing those glasses. >> yeah. if nothing else, it's going to be great time capsule material. you'll be able to say oh, that was from 2013. i can tell from the google glass. that was part of the problem, it was so idiosyncratic and strange. leaving aside the functionality, it made you look goofy. that only gets you so far. the benefits have to be really high. i will give google credit. very few companies would be prepared to so loudly and noisily fail and change publicly on a launch like that. others would be branded, have google glass xl and google glass 2. they are saying this isn't working, and we are going to try to fold it into something else. >> that aside, i wonder if there is an enterprise use case here that may never be google's to optimize. optimize, an obstacle pun. write for a living? i've tried that. >> you're using your left and background nicely. there's an enterprise c

licklider who created interactive computing and they lead up to people like steve jobs, bill gates sergey brin and the people we all know as leaders of this revolution. i was lucky enough to be able to meet these people and i started gathering strength and started collecting stories. i would say when he founded intel tell me that story. icom from vienna which is a place filled with storytellers and it's a great journalist and asked some football questions which is tell me your story. i was gathering the stories and i put them aside as you may know when steve jobs called. i had done one on benjamin franklin won on albert einstein and he called and said what a dumain next? i must admit my first reaction was -- but then i was told he was fighting off cancer realized it would be a great chance to be part of being up close to somebody who had been a revolutionary. it was a revolutionary and we know we were stored history a little bit. we made it seem like it was a visionary like edison or moore or steve jobs or bill gates or einstein. they have a lightbulb moment moment and all of a sudden innovati

google has shut down its physical glass stores and people are the writing -- deriding them and even sergei brin caught without them at a red carpet event. gregg harper the president of parkervision associates, was one of the first new yorkers to own google glass. he is to come in our show wearing them. i cannot help but notice no more. what happened? >> i found people were in comfortable -- were uncomfortable when i walked in wearing them. i had it for quite a while and every day i walked down the street, people would ask me what it's like. it was a conversation starter. about eight months ago, people started saying i don't know and people were feeling uncomfortable when i walked into meetings. this is the case that it comes in. you cannot put this in your pocket. >> but you are supposed to wear it all the time. >> but it makes people uncomfortable. >> what was it that made people uncomfortable? >> they thought i was recording everything. they thought i was posting to the web. you can tell that happening because it lights up but people don't know that. i explain that to everybody. i would be in

protocalls and rick lick lite, and they all lead up to people like steve jobs bill gates, larry page, sergey brin, the people who we all know as leaders of this revolution. and i was lucky enough to be able to meet these people, and i started gathering string started collecting stories about them. i'd say to them, gordon moore, you know when you founded intel and got to moore's law, tell me that story. i come from louisiana which like southern florida, is a place filled with storytellers, and it's always great to be a journalist because you can ask the simplest of all questions which is tell me a story tell me your story. so i put it aside, as you may know when steve jobs called. i had done a biography of benjamin franklin, one of albert einstein. steve called and said why don't you do me next. [laughter] i must admit my first reaction was, because he's my age. but then when i was told he was fighting off cancer, i realized it would be a great chance of being part of being up to close to somebody who had really been a revolutionary. he was a revolutionary and we biographers know that we distort h
