    These are the other projects Google is working on and they are being developed by Google’s secret group, Google X. Their job is to “make the world a better place” with the help of these products.

    1. Driverless car

    A car that can drive itself. This product has been in the pipeline for years over at Google. California and Nevada are the only US states that have the project at the moment though. The project has at least 10 cars that are able to drive themselves.

    2. Google Glass

    You can see and do all kinds of things with Google Glass. From checking the time to reading your tweets, this is a glimpse into the future. Only a select few have had access to the wearable technology thus far, but the product is expected to be released for the public next year.

    3. Android@Home

    Home automation technology from Google. The aim of this product is to have your entire home connected to the Internet.

    Imagine a day when your refrigerator can order milk for you when you’re running low.

    4. Elevator to space

    Imagine taking a ride from Earth to space in an elevator. This is what has been added to Google X’s list of “what if technologies”. Although the product is unlikely to be seen any time soon, the idea is amazing.

    5. Smartwatch

    Recent reports have surfaced indicating that Google is developing an Android-powered smartwatch. The watch will run Google’s Android operating system, and do all kinds of things.

    6. Ingestible sensors

    Google has investments in Adimab. One of the technologies currently under development is for using ingestible sensors to diagnose and fix health issues. iPierian is another company that uses “cellular reprogramming”. This technique is used to create a drug which is able to attack diseases by modifying them.

    7. Blimps to provide wireless Internet

    Worldwide Internet is Google’s plan. And they hope to achieve this with the use of blimps. The company recently announced they would use these blimps to fly over parts of Africa providing wireless Internet for citizens. If the blimps prove to be a success, some one billion people could be connected online.

    8. Android video game console

    This was recently announced by Google. The console would be Apple TV’s competitor and would allow users to play Android games on their TV.

    9. Smartphone

    Motorola is set to release its first ever smartphone, the Moto X. The phone will run on Google’s operating system Android and reports suggest the phone will have all the latest specs and features. Motorola is Google’s phone company.

    10. Renewable energy start-up

    Google recently acquired wind turbine start-up Makani Power. The company is at the forefront of renewable energy and was in the process of developing wind turbines that would fly at altitudes of 243m and 594m in order to generate power. Since the acquisition the company has been added to Google X.
