Andrej Karpathy, Tesla's director of artificial intelligence, announced Wednesday he's leaving the company only months before its anticipated release of its long-delayed "full self-driving" software to 1 million people. Tesla's driver-assist features made significant advances in his tenure, but also have drawn increased scrutiny from regulators over their safety record.
"It's been a great pleasure to help Tesla towards its goals," Karpathy tweeted. "Autopilot graduated from lane keeping to city streets and I look forward to seeing the exceptionally strong Autopilot team continue that momentum."
Karpathy said that he had no concrete plans for his next move, but he planned to revisit "technical work in AI, open source and education."
