How is it working in the self driving cars space? How different would one's experience as a software engineer be vs working at more traditional companies like Google, fb etc (in terms of engineering problems not company size etc).
Also, I'm curious as to what insiders think of the landscape in terms of companies that are doing good work vs companies that are far behind/posturing. Point of the question: where should I consider working.
A few companies I know of:
Lyft, Uber, Tesla, waymo, cruise, zoox, drive.ai, nio
Personal opinion: I'm biased in favor of Lyft, waymo, and cruise. Dislike Tesla for the culture. Don't know enough about the rest.
Update: I work as a backend software engineer. Think platform, api etc.
