Ask HN: How can a non-technical person work in the autonomous car industry?
3 points by qwerunf on July 26, 2015 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I am fascinated by autonomous cars. I devour any news article about them and am constantly evangelizing a future where driverless cars make accidents obsolete and car ownership an antiquated idea.

It would be a dream to get up every day and be involved in helping this technology become a reality.

However, I am not an engineer nor a programmer and the job listings for this industry are, understandably, centered almost exclusively around technical roles. In addition, I don't have any close connections to those working in the industry (I'm east coast based).

I have a 10-year career working in startups mainly in business development though, as one does in startups, have had to be a Jack of all trades and excel when given a new challenge, no matter the type.

Any advice from those (especially with a similar background) working in the industry?



Sales? HR ? Janitorial?
