Currently working as Java engineer and interested in breaking into AVs. Is learning C++ absolute necessary for a SDE role (and interviews) in Tesla, Waymo, Aurora, etc?

    C++ or Python will be required for most SE positions in AV companies.

    It depends. All AV companies will have a wide range of SWE positions, some of which might not require C++. That said, if you want to write vehicle code, it will almost certainly be in C++.

    Crap. I thought AV stands for adult videos.

    Java isn't really used here, but if you're good at general plumbing, systems, web, tooling, etc, definitely lots of non AI things to do.

    Look for a place using spark - your java skills could be helpful there but probably you will need to also learn c++, Python, or frontend in addition
