One wonders if Fuchsia is one of those '20% time' projects, where a single (or group) of Googlers get to spend 20% of their work time on a personal side-project.<p>Even if not, I'm also thinking that if the roadmap here is for a drop-in replacement OS for the AI inside Google cars - don't they currently run a variant of Linux? Which as the fastcompany article says, isn't an RTOS.
We know Google has its own CPU made from scratch, now new OS... is Google creating new end-to-end solution for desktop/mobile? With completely new hardware and software on it?
