Tesla: Andrej Karpathy leaves the company!

– The biggest loss for the autopilot

Andrej Karpathy:

“Senior Director in charge of AI and Computer Vision” at Tesla

This time, he announced that he would leave the car maker.

This is the biggest loss for Tesla’s autonomous driving efforts.

Karpathy joined Tesla
more than five years ago as a neural net and computer vision expert.

He quickly rose through the ranks and became a big part of Tesla’s Autopilot team and the automaker’s effort to develop a full self-driving system.

As Tesla expanded its effort from self-driving to broader artificial intelligence, Karpathy was promoted to senior director of AI at Tesla.

He was one of the rare executives not named Musk who was allowed to take center stage during presentations,

and he was widely seen as leading Tesla when it comes to software related to AI, Autopilot, and self-driving.

In March,
Karpathy announced that he was going on sabbatical for four months.

At the time, we reported that it was worrisome since Tesla executives taking breaks has most often resulted in them not coming back.

Sure enough, Karpathy announced today that he is leaving Tesla:
