The Leaked Tesla Files and Their Implications for ADAS Safety

The German newspaper Handelsblatt recently obtained access to over 100 Gigabytes of leaked files from internal Tesla systems. These files cover a range of information, including confidential employee data, Cybertruck development details, and customer claims and problem reports related to Tesla’s ADAS products (full self-driving and autopilot). Fraunhofer SIT has assessed the leaked data and …
