Tesla autopilot program hurt as key executive leaves

Jim Keller, a microprocessor engineer at Tesla charged with developing the company's artificial intelligence processors, will leave his post for a position at Intel, according to Fortune.

Mr. Keller previously worked for AMD, where he designed the Athlon and Ryzen processors, and Apple, where he created the A4 and A5 chipsets. He is the latest executive to recently leave Tesla, after Susan Repo, vice president of finance, and Eric Branderiz, chief accounting officer, departed in March.

Pete Bannon will take over Mr. Keller's autopilot position while Andrej Karpathy, PhD, Tesla's director of AI and autopilot vision, will be responsible for all autopilot software.
