Want to join Tesla self driving team. How bug is the team? Can I get to work with Andrej Karpathy? I did masters in ML from Georgia tech and have some decent projects in computer vision. 3 yrs of exp at oracle before that. Tc: student currently.
Lol no one from tesla is on blind?
Trust me, stay away.
Tesla is a shit company. Go to a company where your stock bonus won’t be worth zero in 2 years.
Why do you feel so? Their self driving video looks dope
It’s not a profitable car company after this long. They bet the farm on the model 3 and lost bc Musk doesn’t know anything about most of what he bullshits about, especially manufacturing. Musk also burdened the balance sheet by bailing out another failing investment of his and his cousins in solar city. It’s becoming hard them to raise now too. It’s getting difficult for any musk company to raise, spaceX included for that matter.
OP - AutoPilot ( not Self driving) is not the team that you would join to learn, it is the team that you join (if you’re able) to deliver. Arguably this team has the best ML / AI experts in the world. With that said, I would suggest to gain additional experience. But in any case, I wish you luck!
The team even takes MS internships. I think they’d be open to hire new grads. (I have 3 yrs of non ml exp at oracle if that counts 😅)
Just looked up Karparthy. Someone got a promotion at Tesla? Amazing. I thought you only got fired there.
Lol is it that bad a place to work at?
People say the WLB is a bit rough there. But again, this is all off of Blind.
