Study path

Tesla-style ASIC interview preparation

Connect real-time state, fault containment, watchdogs, telemetry, firmware, and hardware reliability. Define safe behavior first, including what freezes, retries, resets, or remains observable after an error.

Validate normal operation and failure injection with deterministic checks and preserved evidence. These independent exercises do not describe Tesla's official interview process.
