Is Tesla Dumping Python For This Programming Language

Although the neural networks for computer vision models were written in Python, he added, the Tesla team would need people with excellent coding skills, especially in C and C . C/C for building self-driving cars might sound weird, but Musk's tweet does raise some doubts regarding the hype around Python. Our NN is initially in Python for rapid iteration, then converted to C /C/raw metal driver code for speed (important!). Also, tons of C /C engineers needed for vehicle control & entire rest of car. Educational background is irrelevant, but all must pass hardcore coding test. This didn't go well with the developers who pointed out the pitfalls of infrastructure complexity. Tesla researchers authors NNs in python land and rewrite with a bare C implementation when deploying. This feels like a failure of our tooling / infrastructure.
