Aside from a handful of idiots using the feature in ways they know they shouldn’t, Tesla’s new Autopilot feature has been pretty successful, and that’s just the beginning. According to a barrage of tweets from CEO Elon Musk, the company is in the process of expanding its autonomous vehicle division, and it needs engineers in order to do so. Musk even asked for any engineers who are interested to contact Tesla.
Shortly after Hong Kong’s Transportation Department demanded that Tesla Motors Inc. remove “Autopilot” features that let the car steer and change lanes without driver intervention, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted a flurry tweets Thursday night, announcing the company is ramping up its autonomous vehicle division, TechCrunch reported. In the tweets, Musk made it clear the California company is searching for some fresh talent. “Ramping up the Autopilot software team at Tesla to achieve generalized full autonomy. If interested, contact autopilot@teslamotors.com,” Musk tweeted. In another tweet, Musk wrote, “We are looking for hardcore software engineers. No prior experience with cars required. Please include code sample or link to your work,” and also, “Should mention that I will be interviewing people personally and Autopilot reports directly to me. This is a super high priority.”
