Head of Tesla's Autopilot team announces departure - 14 iulie 2022

The head of Tesla’s (US.TSLA) Autopilot team said Wednesday that he was leaving the company after overseeing development of its ambitious but controversial driver-assist technology.

Andrej Karpathy, who supervised Tesla’s artificial intelligence efforts, including the computer vision behind Autopilot, said he had “no concrete plans for what’s next” after five years at the company. He called it “a difficult decision” without elaborating.

The loss of Autopilot’s top executive comes at a time of increasing scrutiny over Tesla’s self-driving efforts.
