Thanks Ashok!
Ashok was the first person to join the Tesla AI/Autopilot team and ultimately rose to lead all AI/Autopilot software.
Without him and our awesome team, we would just be another car company looking for an autonomy supplier that doesn’t exist.
Btw, I never… https://t.co/7eBfzu0Nci

Reflecting on the early days of Autopilot development, Eluswami recalled the seemingly insurmountable challenges faced by the engineering team. Despite skepticism from some quarters, Eluswami's unwavering determination and leadership inspired the team to overcome obstacles and achieve significant milestones. In 2015, Tesla successfully unveiled the world's first Autopilot system, marking a transformative moment in automotive technology.
Eluswami's journey from the inception of Autopilot, with its humble beginnings in a small computer with limited memory, to its evolution into a comprehensive autonomous driving solution, serves as a testament to the power of innovation and perseverance. Tesla's achievement stands as a testament to Eluswami's vision and the collective efforts of the entire Autopilot team in revolutionising the automotive industry.
