When you talk about the progress in AI, what are the most fun parts of it for you these days?

The a16z Show

The value of one fusion across a sensor suite, but then secondly, building, I mean, relatedly, building an intermediate representation of what's going on, where if you're just dealing with pixels, I mean, the person behind the bus does not exist in pixel space.

The a16z Show
From Models to Mobility: Building Waymo with Dmitri Dolgov

And so you need to have some representation of the world that exists to be able to reason about the person behind the bus.

The a16z Show
From Models to Mobility: Building Waymo with Dmitri Dolgov

some of that will be by level four level five systems expanding in new cities and uh that expansion continuing some of it will be you know you referenced existing driver assist systems and kind of getting up to uh you know level two and level three and existing systems in across current car brands getting more and more capable what do you think that

working your way up from the lower levels versus working your way expanding from existing products like Waymo, what will that convergence look like?

The a16z Show
From Models to Mobility: Building Waymo with Dmitri Dolgov

Because we're going to eat it from both sides.

The a16z Show
From Models to Mobility: Building Waymo with Dmitri Dolgov

Okay, but you think...

One cannot work one's way up from driver assist systems to full self-driving.

The a16z Show
