While the Autopilot capability of Tesla vehicles has improved markedly over time, the Autopilot team responsible for delivering said capabilities has long seemed to be plagued by dysfunction. Going back to 2017, there were credible reports that the team was losing top engineers at a rapid clip. Even at the top, Tesla seemed unable to keep an Autopilot chief around for a meaningful period of time.
As a prime example, you may recall that former Apple engineer Chris Lattner left Apple to head up Tesla’s Autopilot team, only to leave the position a few months later. Indeed, it wasn’t all that long ago that Tesla’s Autopilot team saw a total of three different leaders in under two years. Suffice it to say, job stability doesn’t appear to be something one would associate with Tesla’s Autopilot team.
