Agreed. I feel like Alphabet (who wrote this post) has kind of lost track of what they're espousing here.

Self driving cars were the "monkey" 10 years ago but now they are largely derisked. I'd like to see Alphabet working on the next generation of innovations. For me personally, I'd like to see them work on:

- Teleportation. - Talking animals. - A cure for death.

I'm not seeing them work on anything remotely as ambitious these days!
