How'd you get into autonomous vehicles?

For those of you who work on autonomous vehicles -- how'd you get into it? What was your pathway like? I have a decent interest in getting into it, but I'm not super educated on what my pathway for getting into it would be

I just open the door and get in. Sometimes I grab the doorframe for a little support.

I work at Lyft L5. Only some specific roles in autonomous domain require autonomy specific skill sets. Most roles are filled by generalists. Practice leetcode well. Know how to build complex systems, not necessarily autonomous and you should be able to get through the design rounds too.

I work for Nvidia AV. First thing I'd say is master C++. Having an understanding of ROS would be good but not necessary. You can look into getting into the following major areas: mapping, perception, control, planning and systems. It's not more about how to get into AV it's more about having the right domain knowledge.
