Tesla's Vehicle Programs Chief Leaves for Waymo Ahead of Robotaxi Launch
Tesla has lost Daniel Ho, its head of vehicle programs, to Waymo just before the EV company's robotaxi unveiling. Ho, who previously reported to CEO Elon Musk, played a key role in ramping up production of the Model Y and Cybertruck, and setting the stage for the robotaxi development. At Waymo, he will oversee programs as the company integrates the Hyundai Ioniq 5 into its fleet and prepares to scale its custom Zeekr robotaxis. This executive shift comes amid other management changes at Tesla, highlighting a significant transition in leadership.
