What do you mean by "however"? He built the entire FSD architecture - in less time and with fewer people than Google, Apple, and god knows who else. He's likely saved more lives than most doctors at this point...

No he didn't, a (large from what I hear) team did. However Karpathy is still a smart, well accomplished, guy and he has a talent many academics don't: being able to write actual production grade, high quality software. And he's a good communicator.

Care to elaborate on this ridiculous claim?

What's ridiculous about stats? A Tesla with autopilot or FSD is more than 10x less likely to be in a collision, based on various US agencies stats. Average chance of collision is 1 in 366 for every 1000 miles driven. Something like 1 in 20000 of those result in fatalities. Now, take millions of Teslas equipped with any assisted-driving tech, multiply by miles driven, include the above averages, and divide by ten. Doctors would be jelly.

Perhaps you can elaborate on what strikes you as ridiculous about fairly straightforward stats? Surprised to see you on a ML thread...
