Short Bytes: Technology entrepreneur Elon Musk has turned to Twitter to recruit ‘hardcore software engineers’ for his Autopilot project. In a series of tweets, he has asked the people to contact him as he’ll be interviewing people personally.
“We are looking for hardcore software engineers. No prior experience with cars required. Please include code sample or link to your work,” the billionaire entrepreneur wrote on Twitter in an attempt to find fresh talent for his company.
Tesla has been working hard on Autopilot to make an autonomous vehicle a reality. Tesla’s Autopilot doesn’t take complete control of the car but provides assistance in navigating through highway traffic and road hazards, making its Model S into a quasi-autonomous vehicle.
