Tesla Seeks Test Drivers for Autopilot Development Amid Autonomous Vehicle Push
Tesla is recruiting full-time Vehicle Operators for its Autopilot program across eight U.S. locations, offering hourly wages of $25.25-$30.60 with benefits including stock options. The roles involve 5-8 hours of daily test driving as the company accelerates its autonomy ambitions.
