Skully is the manufacturer of what it describes as virtual reality helmets. Features include head up display (HUD) with 180 degree rear vision, turn-by-turn GPS navigation & voice control of telephone & music.
Apparently, they’re hiring, or will be real soon. Specifically, they will be looking for a new Principal Engineer, because the previous occupant of that position, Milan Kovac, has moved to Tesla, joining the Autopilot program as “Staff Software Engineer”.
Other recent Tesla hires are Félix Godard, who left Porsche to join Tesla’s design team & WooTak Kim, exterior designer from Mazda.
