Musk lost the general, the development of autonomous driving and humanoid robots lost the soul person?

Tesla recently ushered in a bad news -Musk's capable of leaving.

According to foreign media reports, Tesla's AI and automatic driving system (AUTOPILOT) R & D heads of R & D, Andre Capas, announced their departure on July 13. This person is considered to be Tesla's technology. In addition to the AI ​​and Autopilot mentioned above, he is also responsible for leading the team to develop Tesla supercomputers DOJO and "Tesla Optimism Tianshi" humanoid robot and other technologies. Why does such a soul person who is lighter to Tesla's weightlifting suddenly leave suddenly?

Have been overhead?

Capas tweeted before leaving, saying that in the past five years, it helped Tesla to move towards the goal little by little, and at the same time, he was very happy. Choosing to leave is a very difficult decision. At the same time, he also expressed his true wishes to Autopilot, hoping that Autopilot would be better and better. It can be seen that Capas still has feelings for Tesla.

Some people suspect that Capas's departure may be "intentionally designed" by Musk. Because Capas is likely to be overhead, leaving is his helpless choice.

Within more than 3 months before he announced his departure, he did not lead the team in Tesla to do research and development, but announced early in April this year that he had a 4 -month holiday. Capas' vacation is regarded as "very weird move" by many people in the industry. Capas is a famous workaholic like Musk and rarely take the initiative to take the initiative. At that time, global new energy vehicles were in the stage of fierce competition. This critical period of Capas decided to leave, and it was 4 months. This was very shocking.

Some people suspect that Capas’s vacation is unnecessary. Before the vacation, all the jobs of Capas have been connected by others, and Capas has also fallen into an embarrassing situation of "nothing to do", which has also become Capas I have to choose the reason for vacation. Before vacation, Capas promised: "I will come back, Autopilot and humanoid robots are still waiting!" But in the end Capas did not choose to return to Tesla, and the holidays were not over, and Capas chose to leave the office.

Tesla was forced to lay off layoffs

In the past few months, Tesla has experienced unprecedented difficulties. Problems such as stock chopping, plunge in production capacity, broken supply chain, and subsidies have been troubled by Tesla. Even Musk, who has always been optimistic, has to admit: "Tesla has really encountered great trouble. We must currently want to think about Methods to survive first! "

In order to stabilize Tesla's basic operations, Musk also announced that it will lay off about 10%of the globally in the future. The reason for Musk is that the department must be reduced. Salary is paid. In this large -scale layoff plan, many research and development departments have been poisoned. It is speculated that Musk may want to cut off some businesses with too long investment cycles and low returns.

Some netizens believe that some of the projects that Capasto are responsible for have been listed as the focus of "care objects". After the AUTOPILOT project was launched in the FSD (complete autonomous driving system) project, it was abandoned by Tesla, and the project development was almost stagnant. At the same time, the development of humanoid robots has not been exposed to new progress for a long time. After all, this is the "unmanned field" of science and technology. He said that this technology not only has a long cycle, but also has a large investment in capital. During the critical period, such projects may become a burden of dragging Tesla.

Extension of contradictions

His own project was cut and his men were also crazy, which may be the fuse between Capas and Tesla's contradictions. After all, Musk once handed over Tesla's most important project to Capas. The current situation looks somewhat as good as before.

I have to say that whether Capas leaves, whether it is actively left or passive, it is an extremely risky thing for Tesla. The most important thing for a technology company is to maintain its creativity, and now Tesla is to kill his creativity in order to keep his life. This is obviously a very crazy move.

What's more, if Capas jumped to a competitor company, it may bring a huge crisis to Tesla. (Huo Hao)
