Tesla withdraws lawsuit against former Autopilot head, gets $100k in settlement

Tesla has withdrawn the scathing lawsuit it filed against Sterling Anderson, the former program manager of its Autopilot team, and the company he founded with former Google exec Chris Urmson, Aurora Innovation.
According to a settlement agreement, Aurora will pay Tesla $100,000 (a paltry sum for a billion-dollar company like Tesla) and allow Tesla to hire an independent auditor toscour Aurora’s systems for confidential Tesla information, which would then be destroyed or returned to Tesla.
