And soon...shortly after that, ads
Why do you think Google invested so much into self driving? You can't safely show targeted ads to drivers (I uninstalled Wayze the minute it popped up a "Taco Bell is on your way…" notification one day.
Imagine if they started displaying ads based on data collected from your car.
GPS route is 2hrs long and late in the afternoon? Here’s restaurants on the way.
Travelling on Valentine’s Day? Here’s gift shops near you.
