CTO brings Tesla co-founder heritage to AI power Ian’ s route to this challenge ran through another technology many people once considered impractical. In 2003 he co-founded Tesla Motors, where he led vehicle development and the battery thermal-management work that improved electric-vehicle performance, safety, charging and longevity.
