![]() We can probably agree Google has won by delivering high-quality products, and more than 40 corpses in the Google Graveyard – soon to be joined by its awful social network, Google+ – prove it doesn’t always win. Google is far advanced in driverless cars ( Waymo) and artificial intelligence ( DeepMind). It is also challenging in other areas with its own cloud platform, an online office suite, Chromebooks, Waze, Nest and so on. It now dominates smartphone operating systems (Android), browsers (Chrome), web-based email (Gmail), online video (YouTube) and maps. Google started by taking over the search engine market. Most recently, Google was fined €4.34bn for “very serious illegal behaviour” in using Android “to cement its dominance as a search engine”, according to the EU’s competition commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, a charge the company contests. The EU has fined Google €2.4bn (£2.2bn) for abusing its search monopoly by favouring its products.
