“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and adjusting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product,” said Charles Poon, VP of vehicle hardware engineering, in a briefing this week with reporters.

I hope the team was paid a nice overtime fee. Otherwise they should have just let it fail.

Well, salaried, so not 'overtime' per se, but at least I walked away with a bonus equivalent to about 4 months pay. Not solely due to that one incident, but that incident put things over the top.

Good for you.

Here in Belgium, with salary contracts, there is still a calculated daily pay, IIRC it is monthly salary / 22.

If I work on a non-work day, I get 150% of this for a Saturday or 200% of it for a Sunday or public holiday.
