Come build the future
We're solving self driving cars while delivering shippable intermediaries.
If Tesla is the iOS of self driving, we are the Android. How do you solve self driving cars? You don't do it by solving the problem one part at a time. There are no parts. There is just a machine learning model that contains the human policy of driving.
View OpeningsWho we are
We have 90+ million miles of driving data sitting on hard drives ready to be trained on. Write the training code, fix the bugs, and watch it drive. Think AlphaGo, but for self driving cars. And the minute we do solve it, we already have thousands of users to deploy to. The second largest fleet outside Tesla, and likely to be the largest soon.
On-site only, no remote

End-to-end driving, hardware, robotics, and the comma four announcement. Open playlistOur Process
01. Challenge
Choose a challenge from the leaderboard or a bounty, solve it, then reach out to work@comma.ai.
02. Phone screen
Typically, we do two calls: a quick intro and screen, then an in-depth technical interview with an engineer.
03. Paid micro-internship
We'll fly you out to meet the team and work on a real problem for a few days and hopefully ship it to real users. If all goes well, we will make a full-time offer.
