I'm a hacker too, so I can relate a lot. Hotz isn't the kind of person to start something and not finish it, esp after all this press..there's pressure now, I can def see the entrepreneurial side in him.

In the interview he said it himself, "I'm going to be the next billion dollar CEO". He finally built something that can be VC fundable and is legal enough to have ppl backing him.

But..you could be right too..it might just be a dead project soon (though I doubt it)

I think the series of < 6 month stints at various jobs indicates he's comfortable changing direction early if he's not happy with the situation. But it does seem likely that press like this will provide access to funding that a skilled operator could turn into a mature product.
Jobs are jobs. They come and go.

Startups though..he is vowing he'll build something smarter than Mobileye..seems pretty likely he's going to stay for at least another year in this and more if it's not failing.
