Quote from TechCrunch's newsletter is below. Curious: who is next? My guess is Nuro, given their massive number of new-grad hires. Chance Waymo or others will reneg offers or cut SWEs? "Here are a couple of nuggets I’m hearing from the little birds that have been whispering in my ear. Layoffs are coming for the autonomous vehicle world. One example, which I wrote about, is Argo AI. But I’m hearing rumbles that more layoffs will be coming this quarter at other companies. Like Argo, these appear to be an effort to adjust from some over-hiring. "
I'd think all of the public ones like Embark and TuSimple are in danger.
You don't think Waymo and Cruise will be in trouble?
Only the public ones will be in trouble. Waymo and cruise are fine. They probably won’t have layoffs and can easily raise more funds. Zoox likely as well. The public ones are in danger since to raise more funds they will likely dilute the crap out of their stock at rock bottom public valuations

Engineers won’t be laid off from Nuro. If anything, it’ll be recruiting/marketing/sales/vehicle operators.
They laid off. Now what do you say?
“No teams outside of Operations have been impacted and we continue to stay focused on our business priorities.” https://www.therobotreport.com/nuro-lays-off-employees-in-texas-california-and-arizona/ Do people from Aptiv read beyond the headline?
cruise?
Cruise canceled my onsite interview.
What was the on-site for?
I wonder if we are gonna get layoffs. I haven’t heard anything from within though.
What role and level?
Is Aurora not doing well do you want to jump ship?
What number do you define as “massive” in terms of new grad hires? Are you a new grad hire there?
Add Nuro to the list, they just laid off 20%
