Tesla has laid off 195 members of staff who worked on training its autopilot AI to reduce its headcount by 10%, says The Verge.
According to TechCrunch, "most of the “layoffs” that began in the end of May were, in reality, terminations based on performance."
This doesn't come as a surprise after US regulator, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that Teslas accounted for 273 of 392 crashes to where vehicles were in driver-assist modes, including a full self-driving mode.
