Google's
ATAP hints at
'ambitious' driving app and
Project Ara update
It looks like
Google's secretive Advanced Tech**logy and Projects (ATAP) group has some surprises in store for us after all.*
Though initially missing from the schedule for Google's*upcoming I/O developer conference, a recent
update shows the team behind
Project Ara and Tango will make an appearance at I/O, with an hour-long session slated for Friday morning.

Titled "Bridging the physical and digital. Imagine the possibilities. ATAP," the
session description promises some tantalizing possibilities — including, possibly, a
driving app of some kind.
"Ambitious blue sky research coupled with a
driving application," the description on I/O's website says. What that means is unclear (we're keeping our fingers crossed for driverless cars though we aren't getting our hopes up)*but the
ATAP session has been one of the splashier sessions at previous I/O conferences — so we have high hopes it will be good, whatever it may be.
