I find it telling that in this AMA as well as a few other interviews he seems to be noticeably more excited about the educational startup that he's a CEO of than the driverless car or glass projects. I guess no matter how great an environment an employer provides (and my understanding is that Google X is an upgrade from the regular Google) there's just more excitement when you're captain of your own ship.

Or when it's new. He's been doing driverless cars for > 10 years.
