are you familiar with tesla? i'm not super, but am aware of their public things. they introduced fake marketing products called full self driving and autopilot that don't do those things. apparently this person karpathy was in charge of computer vision there. he led the team who is responsible for these systems that occupy our roads which can't navigate due to such outstanding occurrences as sunlight, precipitation, and fog.
i don't know a great deal about the guy. i know: he worked at tesla, led autopilot there. if we ignore the character defects required to work at tesla, he's responsible for designing systems that would certainly kill people because they decided lidar was too expensive.
Building a tech and falsely advertising it to be something else that what it is (e.g. self driving instead of driving assistance) can typically done by different people. Lacking specific evidence, it's reckless to accuse this person.
right. i'm mostly ignorant of the subject and rushing to judgement based on bias. but he did lead the computer vision team for years at tesla that created autopilot. didn't resign in protest and to my knowledge hasn't apologized, but again i'm ignorant and not seeking new data.
