Techcrunch: Tesla gets rid of Apple Swift language manager Chris Lattner who was brought to the company 6 months ago to lead the autonomous driving division. The company says:
"Chris just wasn’t the right fit for Tesla, and we’ve decided to make a change. We wish him the best.
Andrej Karpathy, one of the world’s leading experts in computer vision and deep learning, is joining Tesla as Director of AI and Autopilot Vision, reporting directly to Elon Musk. Andrej has worked to give computers vision through his work on ImageNet, as well as imagination through the development of generative models, and the ability to navigate the internet with reinforcement learning. He was most recently a Research Scientist at OpenAI.
Andrej will work closely with Jim Keller, who now has overall responsibility for Autopilot hardware and software."
Well Tesla, let me tell you that it's the other way around -- Tesla just wasn't a good fit for Chris Lattner....
ReplyDeleteChris, all the best to you and life is too short to spend time at a place that is not a good fit.
Tesla's loss. All the best Chris.
