This is the most obviously Google thing I've read ever. Half-ass a job and then saying "screw it" and leaving because it's too difficult? Name another company that would do this. Not even Spectrum is this incompetent. They have the attention span of a stoned teenager. Their Toronto Sidewalk Labs also comes to mind. Probably for the best they pulled the plug early on that one. Imagine parts of your city just stop functioning because some private company got bored one day and left.
