China is dangerously close to having the tech to build a car that drives into the back of a firetruck because it’s sleeting.

China did what China does. A french brand of shopping cart moved their factory to China and cut their cost. Sometimes later, their head of security, a chinese man, opened a replica of their factory, producing the exact same shopping cart, without the brand.

I wonder how Tesla thought the same wasn’t going to happen to them.

Important detail not reported in this story- Tesla has made this claim about several companies, and cases have either been thrown out, dropped by Tesla, or lost by Tesla. It’s exceptionally unlikely any company in China would steal anything from Tesla given the fact that three or four self driving vehicle companies are well beyond Tesla’s capabilities, several EV manufacturers are so far beyond Tesla’s capabilities that Tesla actually buys parts from them, and Tesla’s visual design isn’t anything special anywhere.

There’s absolutely no chance a chip maker would steal or otherwise copy Tesla’s FSD chip design, because it’s effectively an ARM CPU with the TRIP cores bolted on, and the TRIP cores are absolutely nothing special in any way.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

BEIJING, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Tesla Shanghai has sued a Chinese firm over tech secret infringement and unfair competition disputes, Shanghai Securities Journal reported on Tuesday.

The lawsuit against Bingling Intelligent Technology, a chip designer and auto parts maker based in Changzhou, Jiangsu province, will be heard in the Shanghai intellectual property court on October 10, according to the report.

A investment fund unit of Xiaomi owns 11.9% of Bingling, the report said, citing Chinese business data platform Tianyancha.
