Google to make city life less miserable

Google today introduced a new company called Sidewalk Labs. The company will focus on improving city life in various ways.

Sidewalk Labs will “incubate” technologies but also build products and form partnerships, according to a statement on the homepage for the new company.

Dan Doctoroff, Bloomberg’s former chief executive, is going to be in charge of the company, which will be based in New York, Google chief executive Larry Page wrote in a Google+ post on the news.

“Sidewalk will focus on improving city life for everyone by developing and incubating urban technologies to address issues like cost of living, efficient transportation and energy usage,” Page wrote.
