Tesla FSD Team Gets A Boost As Waymo Engineering Manager Jumps Ships To Join Elon Musk-Led EV Maker
Waymo staff research scientist and tech lead manager Charles Ruizhongtai Qi took to Linkedin on Friday to announce that he would be joining EV giant Tesla Inc's (NASDAQ:TSLA) Autopilot team to work on its full self-driving software. As per his LinkedIn profile, Qi has been employed at Waymo since October 2019 and has completed over 4 years at the Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) autonomous driving tech unit.
Waymo的研究科學家兼技術主管經理齊瑞忠泰週五在Linkedin上宣佈，他將加入電動汽車巨頭特斯拉公司（納斯達克股票代碼：TSLA）的Autopilot團隊，開發其完整的自動駕駛軟件。根據他在LinkedIn上的個人資料，齊自2019年10月以來一直在Waymo工作，並在Alphabet Inc（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOG）（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOG）（納斯達克股票代碼：GOOGL）自動駕駛技術部門工作了4年多。
What Happened: In his post on LinkedIn, Qi said that he was offered a job at both Waymo and Tesla in 2019 but chose to join Waymo despite Tesla being one of his top choices alongside Waymo.
發生了什麼：齊在LinkedIn上的帖子中說，他在2019年獲得了Waymo和特斯拉的工作，但儘管特斯拉是他與Waymo一起的首選之一，但他還是選擇加入Waymo。
"Although I initially chose Waymo, my interest in Tesla has remained strong. I became a Tesla Model 3 owner and have kept a close eye on the team since then," Qi wrote while adding that the choice of swapping jobs was "carefully considered."
“儘管我最初選擇了Waymo，但我對特斯拉的興趣仍然很強烈。我成爲了特斯拉Model 3的所有者，從那以後一直密切關注團隊。” 齊寫道，同時補充說，交換工作的選擇 “是經過仔細考慮的”。
Waymo and Tesla, despite their differences in approach, are building towards the same goal, Qi noted. Diversity in approaches, he said, is essential to progressing autonomous driving.
齊指出，儘管Waymo和特斯拉在方法上有所不同，但他們正在朝着相同的目標邁進。他說，方法的多樣性對於推進自動駕駛至關重要。
Reminiscing Time At Waymo: In his post, Qi commended Waymo for scaling its robotaxi services to Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin. He recounted that the idea of rbotaxis with no drivers was only a concept and not a reality when he joined the company in late 2019.
回憶Waymo的時光：齊在他的帖子中讚揚Waymo將其機器人出租車服務擴展到鳳凰城、舊金山、洛杉磯和奧斯汀。他敘述說，在他於2019年底加入公司時，沒有司機的rbotaxis的想法只是一個概念，而不是現實。
"The talent here is unparalleled, and it has been an honor to work alongside such exceptional individuals. You will be the part I miss the most," he wrote.
“這裏的人才是無與倫比的，能和這樣傑出的人一起工作是一種榮幸。你將是我最想念的部分，” 他寫道。
Qi also shared a few pictures with his colleagues.
齊還與同事們分享了幾張照片。
Other Rivals: Waymo rival Cruise's operations remain suspended across the U.S. after one of its robotaxis got involved in a pedestrian accident in early October.
其他競爭對手：在10月初Waymo的一輛自動出租車發生行人事故後，其競爭對手Cruise在美國各地的運營仍處於暫停狀態。
Cruise parent General Motors said in January that the company would relaunch Cruise but did not provide a roadmap.
郵輪母公司通用汽車在1月份表示，該公司將重啓Cruise，但沒有提供路線圖。
