It's a shame there are so many trade secrets involved, because it would be especially fascinating to get more details on their entire system everything from advanced topics like how they blend ML with traditional rule-based logic to how they manage data like maps (versioning, distributed updates, etc.)

Agreed. They publish some impressive research on https://waymo.com/research/, but are very tight-lipped about many things. I've always wanted to know how they maintain maps and what their in-vehicle compute hardware looks like. They don't want to share anything beyond high level blog posts.
