Tesla FSD AI Former Engineer at 🔥X

(Excerpted and edited by X Doki)

The ✔ ️ V12 is coming as a huge shock to many competitors. The CEO of a competitor asked engineers how they would imitate E2E, but no one could explain exactly how and how to develop it. E2E can never be made simply with LLM and high-quality data.

✔ The president of a ️ competition company says he also visits and asks about university professors, but he has no income.

✔️ Q: Why did you decide to retire after working for 7 years when you like Tesla so much?

A: Actually, when I first joined the company, my skills were at the average level of the Tesla development team. As the direction of development has shifted to AI, many young geniuses in this field have come in and are increasingly struggling.

Tesla is not an environment where you can work without skills. You can never play with the atmosphere like any other big tech. In my seventh year, I thought it was time to leave. Many colleagues are culled for reasons of work intensity and technical skills.

✔ ️ Q: The truth is that Ashok is no better than Kafasi?
(Ashok is the current Tesla AI team leader, head of autonomous driving after Kafasi’s departure)

A: Not at all. Without Ashok, E2E would not come true. He is a tremendous genius, just poor verbal expression. He has already earned a tremendous amount of wealth financially, but he is still working hard every day, so he is respected by many people. Kapasi is a genius and a very good teacher style.

About the ✔ ️ ChatGPT moment.

Each person feels differently. The Syricon Valley engineers say the ChatGPT moment was when GPT 2.0 and the general public when 3.0. But the stupid Wall Streeters didn’t notice it until the crazy surge in performance of Nvidia.

We’re feeling FSD’s ChatGPT moment now, but the quarterly earnings need to be stamped with SW returns until Wall Street recognizes it. In fact, this is also where Tesla long-term investors are at. If Wall Street had been smart, we wouldn’t have gotten a lot of stock.

Tesla’s AI team seems to have quite a few Indian-Chinese engineers
China has made significant progress in AI-based autonomous driving within China.
