He's a talented computer language architect but really had no place leading a machine learning heavy team, huge waste of everyone's time and money.
This was a Tesla hiring mistake. You get an expert in a field, you can't just shove a guy whos good at one thing and expect him to excel in another.
Andrej Karpathy basically threw everything out once he replaced Latner.
- Joky 7y agoYou seem to have the impression that a machine learning model is all you need to drive the car: this isn't true. There is a lot of real-time system programming and overall architecture. > Andrej Karpathy basically threw everything out once he replaced Latner. What are you basing this on? I don't believe there is any truth to this. First Chris was not replaced by Andrej but by Jim Keller and then Stuart Bowers. Andrej is amazing in his field and has done impressive things at Tesla, but he is managing the ML part of the org, which was a relatively small portion of the Autopilot Software group overall.
