Google invests in electric cars

Fell over this interesting article the other day in Business Week. Google is investing in electric cars. Google and electric cars, you say? Google is spreading its investments beyond software however, there's a definite plan, in fact a vision that within the foreseeable future, transportation will be networked through not only software but also a power grid. Interesting stuff. California based Project Better Place which aims to create an electric car operator network is hopefully paying attention as there seems to be matching interests here.
