Tesla Inc. has parted ways with Autopilot software chief Chris Lattner after just six months. Tesla had lured Lattner from Apple Inc. in January. In a tweet Tuesday night, Lattner said: “Turns out that Tesla isn’t a good fit for me after all. I’m interested to hear about interesting roles for a seasoned engineering leader!” Lattner’s position will be filled by Jim Keller, who will add software to his current role as chief of Tesla’s hardware division, and new hire Andrej Karpathy, who will be head of artificial intelligence and Autopilot Vision, according to a report by TechCrunch. Karpathy is a veteran of Alphabet Inc.’s Google, with expertise in deep learning.
