A former engineer at Tesla has admitted to taking the company’s proprietary files and uploading them to his personal drive, recent court documents show.
During his employment at Tesla’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California, Cao Guangzhi, a former engineer of Tesla’s Autopilot program, took company files and stored it on his personal iCloud account. He also compressed the Autopilot-related files into zip files for easier transport, according to court documents.
