Tesla fired a former Autopilot employee named John Bernal for his work on his YouTube channel AI Addict. Candidly shared a video review showing how the company’s full self-driving (FSD) test system works in various locations around Silicon Valley.
Bernal said he never showed unreleased products or company secrets, but some of his videos showed the system didn’t work perfectly. After firing Bernal, Tesla also cut off access to the FSD Beta system in his personally owned 2021 Tesla Model 3 cars, even though the safe driving software in the cars that Tesla uses to control access to the system was not included in the car. “strike”.
Although Tesla did not detail the reasons for his firing in writing, Tesla and other Silicon Valley companies have often fostered a culture of loyalty. Internal criticism from employees may be tolerated, but public criticism is considered infidelity.
