He also worked on the Xbox One S and is pretty much the most interesting product designer around now. Microsoft should have kept him.
If not, I think Microsoft can afford to loose him.
Everyone here is focused on what this means for Tesla, but this may be intelligence on what is going on with the Microsoft HoloLens program if senior staff is beginning to jump ship. What's going to happen with HoloLens? The team doesn't appear to be very large, and it's been stuck in research-land for a while now.
Kim seems by all evidence to be a good designer, but I'm not sure I'd call him "senior staff". He's been at Microsoft for 3ish years, which is also how long he's been not-a-student. "Senior staff" implies an importance that a "senior" title does not. I am a senior engineer at Microsoft and I assure you if I left it would mean nothing about the future of the company or the product I work on.
Kim also doesn't seem to have been working on HoloLens very long.
I hope this means that we will have new posts on Andrew's blog (Minimally Minimal). Microsoft asked him to remove nearly all of his new posts related to design thus some of his last articles (e.g. about the Xbox One S) have been online only for a week or so.

The employee in question is also the person that made that [Microsoft rebrand concept]( http://www.minimallyminimal.com/blog/2012/7/3/the-next-micro... ) from a while back.
o What if Tesla is interested in improving sensory accuracy for its self-driving vehicle program?
o What if Tesla is interested in Hololens' pixel greying on transparent surfaces?
This seems like the most viable use of this kind of tech in a car. In an extreme case I could see something like head/eye tracking on the windshield, though that isn't in any way guaranteed or even necessarily practically useful.
Improving external sensor accuracy, or even pixel shading on transparent surfaces, however, is probably a FAR bigger overlap between Hololens and Telsa, than anything for augmented reality. Hololens has immense requirements for sensory precision and pixel blacking, and I could see why Tesla would look to an industry expert to carry over any useful architectural guidance for that.
Display on a car's flat windshield as opposed to the Hololens pair of glasses that is essentially around your eyes looks interesting (challenging).
