With OSM data getting more and more quality, I guess it will be a logical
move to Google (and others) to use it for its needs (for example in cities
where they have NOTHING mapped). Though, I've never seen anyone discuss
that. Thinking about this, some questions arise.

Will it ever happen?

Will this be a good thing for people who use routing services?

Will this be a good thing for OSM?

All of that happening, will Google get more involved and help OSM (for
example, with Google Summer of Code, etc)?
