Not necessarily a bad thing, but it seems that guy is always looking for his next job. Good luck keeping him on board for any significant amount of time. Although maybe he already ran out of self-driving-vehicle startups to work at.
1. 2 solid years at Tesla
2. Then moved to Cruise (very easy to understand why someone would want that) but was acquired only 7 mo later. Not hard to understand why he wouldn't want to work at GM, not what he signed up for.
3. Then moved to Otto/Uber where he was for 4 years until now.
I won't want to work for such a company either.
Interestingly, the way I'd phrase this case is to "give them more leeway" which is a closely related nautical term but seems to be used the opposite.
Edit: Thinking about it, I guess to "give them more leeway" is to give them more room to maneuver, while "give a wide berth" is to give yourself more room.
