Seems an engineer stole source code, docs, presentations...etc related to car technology.

Direct link to the article: https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/23/23973673/valeo-nvidia-autonomous-driving-software-ip-theft-lawsuit

TL;DR NVidia and Valeo competed for an AI contract, Valeo won the hardware side but NVidia won the software (surely that's backwards lol). The two companies had to work together on the project, it was during such a project call that Moniruzzaman was caught with old Valeo code.

So yeah, that's much more damning, and the Fortune article did a poor job with the story by not explaining that.
