QUESTION 31 OF 35

What are some of the other tools you use when creating autonomous vehicle software?

As with any software engineering function, the engineer needs to have a defined set of tools to develop programs quickly and efficiently. You probably have a set of tools you prefer already. However, the Tesla interviewer is interested in whether your tools align with those the organization employs. Researching the organization and the job will provide you with some insight into this and help you answer the question within the appropriate context.

"The main tools I use when developing software for autonomous vehicles include MATLAB, Simulink, and Git. MATLAB is a numerical and proprietary programming language. Simulink is a block diagram-based graphical programming interface that allows me to create models and simulations. It is probably the most common tool used for designing and testing control systems on autonomous vehicles. I believe the Tesla development team uses this tool extensively. I especially like its add-on tools for porting designs to C code. Git is a popular version control and source code management tool that many autonomous vehicle companies use."
