Tesla's director of AI departs the company

Andrej Karpathy, Director of AI at Tesla, has announced that he is departing the company. Karpathy has spent the past five years at Tesla. Prior to Tesla, he was a research scientist at OpenAI working on computer vision and generative modelling. Go back further still and you'll find he did his PhD at Stanford as part of leading AI expert Fei-Fei Li's research team. The departure of Karparthy will be a major loss for Tesla.
