It would seem quantization is a useful tool for any sort of NN-style application.

If the expected output is intended to be human-like, why not feed it information that a typical human could not distinguish from a lossless representation? Seems like a simple game of expectations and information theory.

Add "(2018)"

Back when Uber was thinking it could make self driving taxis

Uber now has a deal with Waymo - so in effect they are still trying to do self-driving taxi's, but now via a complex business relationship.

Ah, just like I "make hamburgers" when I go through the McDonals drive-through, although it's via a business transaction.
