Arduino programming can be a pleasant intermediate step in learning C/C++. Specializing specially in C can be easier after that experience.

From my perspective, I see a project that took years of prep. Multiple papers were written. It was tested on software sim, and NASA's physical space simulator[1]. And it finally _successfully_ flew on mars, with some minor bugs.

In my opinion assuming they were "testing in production" (production being mars!), or writing code that "definitely not have passed code review", or that they did not do couple of hours of flight testing on earth, is an unnecessarily unkind assessment of this project.

You claim "I know a little about Waymo. They seem ok."

Then go on to explain:

"Waymo: Code written by professionals. A system using models trained on vast amounts of data. Written slowly, meticulously, exhaustively, heavily reviewed, and intended to be reliable."

Quality shitpost.

We build driverless cars (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfgjemwc9NU).

We need to provide interaction and situational awareness to our passengers, to make them feel comfortable and safe about the driverless car's behavior.

There are not many people in the world working on this specific challenge.

You'll be around the smartest people you've ever worked with.
