In long term, autonomous driving technology seems to be driven by artificial intelligence and silicon design(both computational and sensing), how do you guys think of the career development for general EE roles(platform architecture and system integration etc) ? Assuming autonomous driving will eventually make its way to a profitable industry, does taking a hw role now offer any edge on personal growth compared to EE roles in major consumer electronics players, e.g. apple, Facebook, Google, etc#hardware

  • I don't fully understand the question... IMO autonomous driving is a pretty insignificant thing in the HW world, it's all about the algorithms. Sure we need high computation performance and dedicated AI silicon, but autonomous driving is just one of many customers for that hardware. Beyond that, there's not much special about autonomous driving for an EE. They'll hire some EE's to make some motherboards that fit in cars, cool work if you're into that but it's nothing revolutionary, it's just another circuit board.

      OP
      Fair points, just curious about which type of EE work would be considered as revolutionary? It seems to me that most non-silicon level HW innovation are combination of many teams and EE is always just one piece of it.
