Tesla Autopilot team loses several more engineers as Elon Musk takes over https://electrek.co/2019/07/09/tesla-autopilot-team-loses-en… ... Autopilot engineers who left Tesla in the shakeup: Frank Havlak: a 5-year Autopilot veteran who led controls and path planning— Nenad Uzunovic: a member of the path planning team for 2 and a half years Drew Steedly: who led perception on Tesla’s Autopilot team Ben Goldstein: a software engineer who led the simulation team at Tesla and he now took a similar role at GM’s Cruise They also reported on some engineers who have been promoted or have taken over some of the responsibilities from the previously mentioned engineers who are no longer at Tesla. As we previously reported, Kovac got the biggest promotion, but The Information also reported on: Ashok Elluswamy: a 5-year Autopilot veteran who now leads the “perception” and computer vision teams CJ Moore: also a 5-year Tesla Autopilot team veteran who took over the lead for the simulation program Drew Baglino: a long time Tesla engineering executive with several different responsibilities took over path planning ... Electrek’s Take As mentioned in our previous report about this situation, it sounds like Elon got rid of people who didn’t agree with his timeline of achieving fully autonomous vehicles by the end of next year. It’s an extremely aggressive timeline that is doubted by the entire industry, but the CEO has been pushing hard for it over the last year. Lately, the company even doubled down on the idea and made it the top selling point for Tesla vehicles; that they can be upgraded to fully self-driving capability. It’s important for Tesla to deliver on the feature since Tesla is currently selling cars with the promise that their owners are going to be able to upgrade them with full self-driving capability through a simple software upgrade (for cars built since April 2019) and through a computer upgrade (for cars built since October 2016). If Tesla doesn’t deliver the critical capability, which has regulatory and safety concerns, it will be in trouble with hundreds of thousands of owners. Electrek's Take: Fuck ! Das Ziel war nie zu halten. Wozu sollten fähige Programmierer in Silicon Valley ihre Ruf mit sowas aufs Spiel setzen ?! |
