Introduction:
It all started from a dream of John F. Kennedy in 1962. His dream was to put a person on the moon. He called it eponymous moonshot. At that time, Kennedy’s dream seemed impossible, but everything great starts from a great belief.
Astro Teller, a captain of The Moonshot factory, and Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, are followers of Kennedy’s dream. In 2007, they opened a subsidiary «Google X» to boost innovations. After October 2015, X operated under Alphabet Inc. X was created to work on impossible projects, to take risks and cost and «make the world a radically better place». Google X is not a research center, it is not a business subsidiary, not even an incubator. They are moonshot takers. They are moonshot factory, …show more content…
Loon project will connect all the world to the internet, so people even in rural areas will have access to information and knowledge. Balloons with wifi routers will fly all over atmosphere, change positions and spread the internet. The Self-driving car is an innovation which was invented by Google X in 2009. It functions based on certain question built within it to answer while on the road. The first question self-driving car is faced with to answer is based on the current location. Due to the maps and sensors built within the self–driving car, it determines the street and the lane it is on. It then uses sensors to detect, while the software classifies the objects around it based on their size, movement and pattern for example pedestrians, cyclists or robots. The software then predicts on the next step to be taken by the objects around it. For example, if the pedestrian will cross the road. The final step taken by the self-driving car is to choose the action to implement. For example, it would slow down when approaching zebra crossing to allow a pedestrian to pass. The main aim and idea behind this innovation were to reduce the level of accidents around the world caused by human driving errors, although it has been reported to have been involved in …show more content…
However, the team ran into practical problems in scaling the concept up to a sizable size. Overcoming those challenges would be hugely expensive and complicated that the potential social and economic of a hover boar5d could not justify the cost. To tackle the problem of undernourishment, Google X attempted to create an automated vertical farm. The perk of vertical farming as the teller puts it is that it uses less water and saves 100 times less land to grow food. Since it can be set up anyway, the food does not need to be transported long distances. Google X made progress on automated harvesting and efficient lighting. However, it could not get staple crops like grains and rice to grow via vertical farming, as a result, the project was
