Google has been receiving considerable attention for their work on self-driving automobiles and their Project Loon balloons designed to bring Internet service to the far corners of the globe. On October 21, 2015, a new “leak” reveals Google has been working on yet another mode of transportation codenamed “Project Flux.”
According to the leaked document, Project Flux uses a proprietary chronocompression device that allows users to be transported to a place and time of their own choosing. Google indicates development of Project Flux is part of their continuing efforts to make anything in the world discoverable by anyone, anywhere and anytime.
Google does reveal that they have identified some post-future disruption issues that can be induced by improper use of the Project Flux technology. Interestingly, they do not make reference to the European Union's right to be forgotten and how that may impact erasure from existence.
Google has completed so much work on the project, logging over 3,306 years of test travel, that they are ready to move on to a new testing phase that will be opened to a limited number of members of the public. The prototype vehicles, dubbed DMC-12s, use an all metal – stainless steel in this case – construction. Google has implemented some unique backup power sources to protect against “time-stranding” and they have designed a push-button ignition to prevent faulty starting issues some of the earlier prototypes experienced.
