Karpathy is leading the ML team and Musk is no slouch. I'm sure he doesn't write code, but he's been through linear algebra, quantum physics, and statistical mechanics. He understands how photons work, how sensors work, how computers work, how the math works. So he can quickly assess the business utility of a proposed solution, or the plan to find solutions. They have more than a couple guys at this caliber. Every person in that presentation was top-of-their-game, mid-career, I'm-not-falling-on-my-sword-for-some-bullshit.
