Today's Story Highlights

Veteran Car Guy to Steer Google's Driverless Cars to Market
Google on Sunday named auto industry veteran John Krafcik to head up its
autonomous vehicle division. Krafcik, former CEO of Hyundai's U.S.
operations, will be the first CEO of Google's 6-year-old self-driving
car project. "This is a great opportunity to help Google develop the
enormous potential of self-driving cars," said Krafcik, who most
recently ran the auto shopper site TrueCar.

There's a New Google Wallet in Town
Google on Wednesday released a revamped version of Google Wallet to keep
the app alive following its imminent transformation into Android Pay.
Google Wallet (New) also has a few capabilities that aren't available in
the about-to-be-promoted version. Google began rolling out Android Pay
on Thursday. The original Google Wallet has been around since 2011.

The IoT's Data Prioritization Pearl
The era of digital transformation and the digital business, the customer
experience as a key differentiator, and the movement toward smart
machines are some of the common themes Gartner Distinguished Analyst Don
Scheibenreif touched on in his keynote last week at the Gartner Customer
360 Summit in San Diego. These are all phenomena that have been on their
way for a little while -- like a glacier.

Android Stomps Onto Mobile Pay Battlefield
Google is rolling out Android Pay, its answer to Apple Pay. Android Pay
allows shoppers to make purchases at more than a million retail
locations across the U.S. It also stores gift cards and loyalty cards,
and provides special offers directly to a user's mobile device. Android
Pay is compatible with all NFC-enabled Android devices, and it works
across all carriers.
