That's survivor bias though, isn't it? Hard to see the world's best self-driving engineers when they're not getting caught stealing trade secrets and forced to reveal compensation.

Well they wouldn't be the world's best self driving engineers in that case would they?

I don't think that's true. Because they were already being compensated very highly.

Not really, I can say that for example Karpathy is at the same general level as Levandowski and he hasn't been caught stealing trade secrets.
