On Sunday, <keyword id="19903807" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Elon-Musk" source="keywords">Elon Musk</keyword> took to social media to express his appreciation for <keyword id="21992682" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Ashok-Elluswamy" source="keywords">Ashok Elluswamy</keyword>, highlighting the <keyword id="20307691" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-origin" source="keywords">Indian-origin</keyword> robotics engineer’s pivotal role in <keyword id="19895433" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tesla" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Tesla" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Tesla">Tesla</keyword>’s “success in AI” and the <keyword id="20344498" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Autopilot" source="keywords">Autopilot</keyword> software. In 2021, Musk had announced Elluswamy as the first hire for Tesla’s Autopilot team. Elluswamy, who hails from India, earned a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics and Communication from the <keyword id="1604304" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="College-of-Engineering-Guindy" source="Orion">College of Engineering Guindy</keyword> in Chennai. He later moved to the US to pursue a Master of Science in Robotic Systems Development at Carnegie Mellon University. Acknowledging his role in Tesla’s growth, Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Thanks Ashok! Ashok was the first person to join the Tesla AI/Autopilot team and ultimately rose to lead all AI/Autopilot software. Without him and our awesome team, we would just be another car company looking for an autonomy supplier that doesn't exist.” <div type="twitter" handle="elonmusk" handlename="elonmusk" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1799650788848841069"></div> Musk’s tweet was a response to Elluswamy’s own note on X, where Elluswamy reflected on Musk's bold vision and relentless perseverance, which proved instrumental in Tesla’s advancements in <keyword id="19899640" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="AI" source="keywords">AI</keyword> for autonomous driving and robotics. Elluswamy shared insights into the early days, where the challenge was to implement Autopilot on severely constrained hardware and the daring decision to develop Tesla’s computer vision capabilities internally within a tight timeframe. Elluswamy further elaborated on how, despite facing scepticism and ridicule from industry experts, Tesla not only succeeded in launching the world’s first Autopilot system, but also committed to an AI-centric approach by moving away from traditional sensors. He emphasised how Musk’s dedication to creating custom AI hardware and pioneering projects like humanoid robots underlines his foresight in pushing the boundaries of real-world AI, ultimately establishing Tesla as a leader in the field. Tesla’s Autopilot is a sophisticated semi-autonomous driving system that leverages cameras, sensors and radar to assist drivers. It automates certain driving tasks such as steering, acceleration and braking within a lane. Key Autopilot features include adaptive cruise control, lane centering and emergency braking. Since 2016, Tesla has been developing its AI and computer vision capabilities in-house to power Autopilot. This involves training deep neural networks on raw camera images for tasks like semantic segmentation, object detection and monocular depth estimation. Tesla’s strategy prioritises vision and AI to achieve autonomy, rather than relying on external sensors or high-definition maps.

US presidential candidate <keyword id="19918985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump" source="keywords">Donald Trump</keyword> has gone from suggesting that immigrants were poisoning the blood of the country to saying that he would welcome immigrants from “nice” countries like Denmark, Switzerland and Norway to his most recent plans of automatically granting green cards to <keyword id="22128571" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="foreign-graduates" source="keywords">foreign graduates</keyword> of US colleges in a rather short duration of time. Feeling a little whiplashed, anyone? Securing a green card in the US is a Herculean task whose difficulty is probably comparable to capturing and bringing back Cerberus. And this legal permanent residence, which can sometimes take decades, is only the first step to becoming a US citizen. Many Indians have tried, whether it’s through residing and working for decades, navigating rather lengthy paperwork or marrying someone who is already a US citizen. Sadly, many have failed too. However, should Donald Trump become the President of the United States again (and decide to keep his word), Indian students might actually have an easier time getting a green card. In a surprising shift from his previous stance on immigration, former President Donald Trump has unveiled a bold plan to automatically grant green cards to foreign graduates of US colleges if re-elected. This announcement, made during a podcast interview with Silicon Valley investors, marks a departure from Trump's traditionally tough rhetoric on immigration. During the podcast hosted by Chamath Palihapitiya and others, Trump expressed his commitment to retaining talent educated in American universities. He argued passionately for granting green cards as a standard benefit for graduates, regardless of the institution they attended. Trump emphasised that this policy should encompass graduates from renowned institutions like Harvard and MIT as well as from junior colleges across the country. “It’s so sad when we lose people from Harvard, MIT, the greatest schools, and lesser schools that are phenomenal schools also,” Trump lamented on the All-In Podcast. “I think you should get, automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country and that includes junior colleges, too.” A green card affords its holder permanent residency rights in the United States and represents a crucial step towards citizenship. Trump's proposal, if enacted, could potentially introduce hundreds of thousands of new applicants for citizenship annually. Adding to the exodus of Indians who have already migrated to the US, over 200,000 Indian nationals are enrolled in institutes across the US in 2024, setting a new record. In fact, the significant surge in Indian students seeking education in the country between 2022-23 represented an unprecedented 35% increase from the year before that. The former US president specifically mentioned India and China, highlighting how talented individuals were unable to stay in the US because of current <keyword id="22151110" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="visa-policies" source="keywords">visa policies</keyword>. We can see how this may show him in a favourable light for green card aspirants. And while we’re not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, it is important to remember that Trump has made his discriminatory nature very public in several instances. Immigration has been a hot topic in the US political arena for decades. However, in recent years, the political right and others have been more divided than ever on this issue. Republicans have been calling for stringent immigration policies and strict border protections. Therefore, even if Trump does deliver what he promises, the packaging will most likely have fine print that might continue to make it difficult for students to attain green cards. In fact, the presidential candidate’s campaign press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, has already clarified that Trump's proposal would only apply to thoroughly vetted college graduates who can “make significant contributions” to America and would not undercut American wages or workers. She emphasised that Trump has outlined the most aggressive vetting process in US history to exclude "all communists, radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, America haters and public charges." Anyhow, Trump’s proposal starkly contrasts with Trump's previous hardline stance on immigration, which had been a cornerstone of his political platform. During his presidency, Trump advocated for stringent immigration policies, including the largest deportation campaign in US history, aimed at undocumented migrants, and building a wall on the southern borders of the country. Trump intensified restrictions on legal immigration amid the pandemic and his final year in office. He proposed halting all immigration to the US and deporting foreign students who didn't attend some in-person classes. A month before the 2020 election, Trump once more moved to tighten regulations on the <keyword id="20773661" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="H-1B-visa" source="keywords">H-1B visa</keyword> program. He has also criticised the H-1B visa program, which tech companies favour for hiring foreign skilled workers, as detrimental to American prosperity. The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa allowing US firms to employ foreigners in specialised occupations requiring theoretical or technical expertise. At a recent campaign event in Wisconsin, Trump criticised Biden's immigration policies, particularly lambasting a new program allowing undocumented spouses of US citizens to apply for permanent residence without leaving the country. Trump characterised immigration under Biden as an "invasion" and argued against discussing amnesty, urging instead for measures to halt what he perceives as an influx of unauthorised migrants. Estimates from the Department of Homeland Security suggest that approximately 11 million migrants currently reside in the US without authorization, a statistic that has been central to Trump's arguments against leniency in immigration policy.

Donald Trump strikes again: Ex-President proposes automatic green cards for foreign graduates of US colleges

<ul class="summary-list"><li>My child started college last month and my husband and I became empty nesters.</li><li>Our family dynamic has changed, and I've been left wondering what that means for me.</li></ul>Last month, I participated in a ritual familiar to thousands of American parents: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/college-nyu-fresham-move-overwhelming-2023-9">college move-in day</a>. On one of the hottest afternoons in August, I tucked the edge of a comforter between my child's bed and the dorm room wall, which was painted an unwelcoming yellow. Then, our little family of three walked to seminars to help us navigate the college years. I rated the rationality of other parents' questions, whispered snarky comments to my husband, and relied heavily on the framework offered by the presenter to deflect the emotions of that day.The ritualistic goodbye curated by the college meant that all of us — students and families — exited a large gym at the same time onto grassy lawns, teary-eyed. Once again, I could deflect, observing and absorbing the emotions of other families and children. Many would be <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mom-daughter-long-distance-living-abroad-closer-relationship-2024-5">separated by thousands of miles</a>; thankfully, we were only a two-hour drive away. We held each other, my husband, teenager, and I, and whispered our reassurances that we would see each other soon and were ready for this phase.<h2 id="c52fd4f7-691e-491a-8e4d-81e8e6849822">I wasn't prepared for this phase of our lives</h2>I had prepared to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mom-of-five-cant-afford-paying-college-kids-2024-9">send my child to college</a>, thinking of it as a temporary absence to enhance their development. I hadn't prepared to accept the idea that their leaving is yet another toward adulthood, a long-term shift, an evolution of our family life from daily gathering to sporadic togetherness.People try to comfort me by saying things like, "They never really leave," or telling me we'll be in contact often. But I don't want that kind of false comfort. I want to engage in the stages of grief appropriate for this phase of my parenting — depression, and acceptance. My grief is not over the fact that they are in college, but that our family life is forever changed.Everyone advises that I keep busy, and I have taken this advice by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/i-made-new-friends-playing-tennis-we-talk-everyday-2023-8">signing up for tennis lessons</a> and Spanish classes. But I know that busyness will not fill the void I feel when I go to bed and can't kiss my baby goodnight or hug them in the morning. The loss is not permanent, but it's perpetual. Things will never be the same — for them, me, and us.My thoughts take me all over the place. I think about my mother when all of her children left home at the same time to go to college, grad school, and boarding school. I long for the more traditional Indian family structure I rejected when I was younger, in which you <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/millennial-living-home-challenging-societal-norms-2023-12">lived at home</a> until you married, and if you were male, you moved your wife in. I wish I had pressed harder for a gap year. And I wonder if having more children would make this any easier.But I also want for them what I never had as a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/first-generation-college-grad-migrant-parents-not-interested-higher-education-2023-9">first-generation immigrant student</a> — college life with all its drama and glory, freedom to indulge their intellectual curiosity, and the opportunity to individuate from us. I have longed for them to have these experiences, forgetting what I might lose in the process. Be careful what you wish for.<h2 id="3b59bf9b-e76e-4928-876f-4d730565157b">I hope we can still fall back into our comfortable family dynamic</h2>People say it gets easier with time, and that you develop a new routine, a new normal. That when they come home, it actually disrupts the routine you've adopted without them. I am already familiar with how our dynamics change after being apart.As the leader of a national organization focused on building a more inclusive democracy, I have traveled extensively for work. Not only did it get easier to do so as they got older and more independent, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/business-trip-travel-parent-tips-mini-vacation-2024-5">travel had its benefits</a>. I enjoyed sleeping in and not having to think about meal prep while I was away.Though It was hard to return to our usual rhythm after my husband or I had been away, or our child had been to camp, within a few hours — or at most, a day — we were back to being us. Now, when we reunite, just as I get used to our familiar rhythm, it will be disrupted by them leaving again, for weeks and months at a time.<h2 id="aa30ce04-86f0-4957-9ae2-efa6384419d0">I worry that I'll fill the space left by my child with work</h2>All of this worries and saddens me, but something else also plagues me. Without my child at home, I don't know what I'll have as a bulwark against work. Once I became a mother, I had a natural excuse to opt out of professional activities, especially those that fall in the large gray space between required and optional.That networking event with other moms, this nonprofit gala, that conference that might result in new resources or opportunities — those things could all be weighed against <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/work-life-balance-financial-goals-raising-son-2024-7">quality time with my child</a>. There's no question that when it comes to my career, I am ambitious and aspirational. But the sense of urgency that often informs professional life is largely unnecessary unless you're a healthcare professional or emergency aid worker. Family allowed me to have a clear decision-making framework about what mattered, especially around travel and evening events.Absent this clarity, I feel unmoored and afraid that I'll be tempted to fill the space created by this reconfiguration of our unit with work. However purposeful and satisfying my professional life can be, I want to hold on to that part of my life that's not about producing, reacting, and managing people and problems. The part that enjoyed family game night, walks in the woods, cooking together, or binge-watching a favorite show. I've lost my favorite companion and gained so much time. My husband reminded me that I need more activity, not more work.If my new bulwark is not my nuclear family unit, can it be me? While my child is individuating from us, I, too, want to individuate in ways that I couldn't as an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/eldest-daughter-syndrome-fathers-caretaker-sibling-birth-order-estrangement-2024-7">eldest daughter</a> of immigrant parents. I'm not looking for hobbies to fill my time as much as I am aspiring to be a version of myself that is not defined by my family role or work. I've only seen glimpses of her over the years, and I can't wait to get to know her better.

My kid just went to college, and I'm now an empty nester. I don't want to fill all my time with work.
