Thanks for the comment! Hotz addresses Waymo in the video. His claim is that Waymo and similar products are centralized and brittle. In contrast, he argues that his method will be decentralized and flexible enough to apply in other realms of AI. Coincidentally, he also echoes some of the points made by Melanie Mitchell (post #3) about analogies and abstraction. I guess that time will tell if the difference in methods as important as Hotz thinks it is.
