Reported designs of flying car projects backed by Larry Page
It's 2016 and many of us are still amazed that we don't have flying cars but Google's Larry Page is hoping to change that. The founder has reportedly invested $100 million of his own money into making this dream come true.
Page, who is CEO of Alphabet which owns Google among other companies, is no stranger to moonshot projects but as a report from Bloomberg states, Page seems serious about getting flying cars made. With electric vehicles gaining popularity and with autonomous drivng technology coming as a result of this, flying cars aren't that far behind. Page is apparently working with two companies. Zee.Aero, one of the reported companies, is apparently based out of Mountain View just minutes from Google HQ.

After Apple announced its new plan for app developers, Google’s reportedly thinking of doing the same thing for its own developers. According to Recode, though, the 85/15 revenue split Google also plans to implement will begin immediately. It won’t require developers to have a user subscribe for one year before the new revenue sharing method kicks in, which is what Apple is doing. Unnamed sources said Google has been trying this out with entertainment companies over a year ago with video services to boost its offerings as well as have them work on its TV streaming devices such as the Cast dongle. There isn’t any confirmation yet, though, if Google will implement this and when. Google has long been trying to get developers to invest in its platform like they do with Apple so we won’t be surprised if the tech giant does resolve to do this.
