I wonder how strong would Elliptic Curve Cryptography be compared to other methods if there is a major breakthrough in quantum computing.

He is probably referring to Ethereum, which was conceived as a "global computer", operating in an open and permissionless manner.
But just wanted to make the point that Bitcoin is a global computer as much as ethereum is, Solidity is just Turing complete while (Bitcoin’s) Script is intentionally limited to a few instructions.

Maybe he is losing faith in self driving cars and is looking for an alternate field.

There's this persistent misconception out there that only Ethereum works this way. It's a testament to marketing. Bitcoin has been doing "smart contracts" long before Ethereum was even a gleam in Vitalik's eye.
