Issues

• Hired a dangerous reckless hack from Tesla CJ Moore — Apple making huge blunder hiring Tesla “Autopilot” engineer — https://imispgh.medium.com/apple-making-huge-blunder-hiring-tesla-autopilot-engineer-fc3d7f5165b6
• Apple Watch software lead in charge
• 2025 date for L4
• Using the same development and simulation approach the rest of the industry is using

Below are a couple articles that explain my POV in more detail
