really? have a friend who interviewed there pre GM acquisition. said it was a colossal joke of a place, engineering wise. and hes worked at some sh*thole startups, so i take his word for it.
honestly, it was 100% luck GM took notice of them. weren't many other alternatives around at that time. GM buying them spurred the explosion of self-proclaimed software/full stack self driving startups we see today.
So Im not as impressed with the achievements so far as I am with the absolute dumb luck these guys have had. Kudos, i guess.
