Google Abandons Its Oddball Attempt to Challenge GoPro
Two years ago, Alphabet's (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google launched Clips, a wearable camera that automatically captured photos and videos without any user interaction. The $249 device, which could be clipped to clothes or set down, used an AI algorithm to recognize people and start capturing content.
At the time, some analysts thought Clips could become a potential rival to GoPro's (NASDAQ: GPRO) cameras. I thought it was a creepy experiment designed to train Google's computer vision AI instead of aggressively competing against GoPro.
