Tesla loses its head of Autopilot HW engineering to Amazon's self-driving effort
Tesla has lost its long-time head of Autopilot hardware engineering to Amazon's self-driving company, Zoox.
Zheng Gao has been at Tesla for more than 8 years and for the last three, he has been the head of Autopilot hardware engineering.
He was in charge of designing the hardware that powers Tesla's Autopilot and FSD features.
His departure may be a blow to Tesla's robotaxi efforts.
Prior to his leading engineering role at Tesla, Gao spent a decade at Apple, and he has been behind many electronic designs.
Zoox, a self-driving company owned by Amazon, has announced that it hired Gao for a similar leading role at the company.
Gao is leaving Tesla at a critical time as the automaker claims it is about to achieve unsupervised self-driving next year – although CEO Elon Musk has claimed that every year for the last 8 years.
On the other hand, Zoox has recently made significant progress in miles between disengagement in its test program in California and announced the launch of its robotaxi service in San Francisco.
People come and go from companies for many different reasons and Gao certainly had a good run at Tesla after 8 years.
That said, it is a bit strange to be leaving now if you really believe that Tesla is on the verge of the biggest value creation of all time: enabling millions of robotaxi vehicles. I'm sure he would like to claim credit when robotaxi operation is available.
Of course, many people believe that Tesla can't enable unsupervised self-driving on its vehicles.

Exactly : We are still going up
bullrider_21 OP Exactly : Exactly. Tesla is on a 6-day winning streak. A streak of >10 days is not uncommon. But as it keeps rising, it gets more overbought. The higher the climb, the harder the crash.
Exactly bullrider_21 OP : That could be right.
