It's been a great pleasure to help Tesla towards its goals over the last 5 years and a difficult decision to part ways. In that time, Autopilot graduated from lane keeping to city streets and I look forward to seeing the exceptionally strong Autopilot team continue that momentum.

Andrej Karpathy's transition out of Tesla has been planned for a long time. Starting over a year ago Elon started making a point to everyone that Ashok was leading Autopilot software, not Andrej. Now I know that it's because Andrej was starting to talk about moving on.
