It's scary how much this sounds like the world envisioned by Daniel Suarez in Daemon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_(technothriller_series) Google has diverless cars, Glasses that overlay information on top of reality, and now is making a sort of game out of it.
Also reminded me of Vinge's Rainbow's Edge .

#36Lots of interesting stuff going on in this space. Shadow cities is another one that's doing pretty well. The big question to me is, where's the Zynga of this world? Can you make casual location aware ARGs?
