Tesla Is Snatching Apple's Key Employees, Automaker Of To Something Big?
JPAmerican Automaker, Tesla, has been creating much noise in the tech and gadget community lately thanks to its snagging of some of Apple's key employees. Though Tesla may be on an entirely different market and not in direct competition with Apple, the acquisition of some of the bright minds from Cupertino is said to be of great help to the car maker and a threat to the tech giant.
The latest Apple key employee that jumped boat and accepted an offer from Tesla is Chris Lattner. To common people, Lattner may be a complete stranger but not in the tech and gadget community. Though Lattner may not have the name recall of a Steve Jobs, Jony Ive or Tim Cook, Lattner is actually a "somebody" in the Apple community.
Chris Lattner is the man behind iPhone's programming language, the Swift. Even before his creation of the Swift, Lattner is already considered as a rockstar in the world of software engineers having developed Clang and LLVM. Doesn't ring a bell? Well just think of it this way, Apple and Google would not have succeeded without them.
Among the former Apple employees that have abandoned the Cupertino tech giant for Tesla includes Doug Field (the vice president of Mac engineering), Matt Casebolt ( MacBook Air engineer), Rich Heley (director of Apple's alloy engineering and now Lattner.
Tesla has been more focused with its self-driving car tech lately and the addition of Lattner to their team may have been motivated by the Automaker's push to further improve the Tesla autopilot. It has been said that Tesla could be adopting the strategy of Apple and Google which is not only to create products but to develop even what is inside these products. Lattner's addition to Tesla's already impressive roster may just be the push it needs to further place the Automaker's brand on top of the car market.
