When do autonomous vehicle companies close their internship job apps?

I'm a grad student (formerly Amazon). I'm transitioning to a career in robotics/autonomous systems and my main interest is self-driving vehicle tech. I saw that Zoox, Nvidia, and Cruise have opened their 2024 internship positions and I'd love to do a graduate internship! I need to beef up personal projects for GitHub though so I'm wondering how long I have before applications close? Thanks! TC: 250k -> 0k

Autonomous driving is a hard problem to solve and even harder to secure funding for the same

I would not recommend the AV industry in all honesty, try something profitable

Could you elaborate a bit more on this?

Cruise xnzD84 Oct 23, 2023

Cruise - like many other AV companies - are struggling to become profitable and it seems like there’s a long road ahead. The future outlook of the company is very uncertain at the moment

Don’t worry about beefing up your GitHub. Spruce up your resume and then practice for interviews.

+1 on xnz. Don't come here.

Is it just stressful because of the financial instability? Or is it culturally a bad company?

Cruise IMISSDAN Oct 28, 2023

Both.
