Large majority of layoffs were non-engineering and specifically targeted in such a way that we can refocus on standardization and benchmarking profiles for a single city re-launch while cutting and revisiting programs wholesale such as commercial operations (which is on hold for some time). We don't have infinite money and need to build standards that can benefit the whole community/industry/regulations. Despite what many are saying - this is being done calculated and methodical.
- InCityDreams 3y ago>..we can refocus on standardization and benchmarking profiles for a single city re-launch while cutting and revisiting programs wholesale. Should there be a comma after 'standardisation'. Maybe after 'launch', too?
- AlotOfReading 3y agoHow does Cruise focus on standardization by laying off the people who were writing them? Surely you've interacted with the sensors teams, or the kernel teams, or the silicon teams, or the hardware teams, or syseng, or any of the other engineering teams that saw significant cuts?
- nyxtom 3y agoI wasn’t aware of significant cuts to those teams. How much did we lose there? Could that have been mistaken as limited to Origin devs?
- AlotOfReading 3y agoMy visibility is somewhat reduced given that I was one of them, but from what I've heard from the people remaining, 10-15% losses on those teams, including a lot of the staff+ people. It included engineers who were on the critical path for MY28, some of the people replacing the MCTM, etc.
