thief – All about car

Elon Musk during his presentation at the Tesla Powerpack Launch Event at Hornsdale Wind Farm on September 29, 2017 in Adelaide, Australia. Tesla and Apple both suspect they were betrayed by driverless technology engineers who defected to the same Chinese startup.So, Tesla is now asking for Apples help in a lawsuit in which the electric carmaker accused an engineer who worked on its Autopilot program of taking thousands of highly confidential files when he went to work for XMotors.ai, the U.S. research arm of Guangzhou-based Xpeng.Along with typical information demands in the early fact-finding phase of the lawsuit that are spelled out in a court filing last week Tesla wants to see the engineers emails and have a forensic analysis conducted on his electronic devices the company founded by Elon Musk disclosed that it has also served the iPhone maker with a subpoena.The documents Tesla seeks from Apple arent specified in the filing, but the thinking may be that while the Silicon Valley titans are rivals in the ultra-hot self-driving space, they share a common enemy in Xpeng.Last July, prosecutors charged a hardware engineer in Apples autonomous vehicle-development team with downloading proprietary files as he prepared to leave the company and start work for the for Chinese company. The engineer has pleaded not guilty.Apple didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.The former Tesla engineer, Guangzhi Cao, acknowledged in a court filing that he downloaded copies of Teslas Autopilot-related source code to his personal iCloud account, but denies any wrongdoing. Cao has done precisely nothing with Teslas IP, having diligently and earnestly tried to scrub all of Teslas source code from his personal devices and volunteered to provide the company with complete forensic copies of any devices it wished to inspect, his lawyers wrote.Xpeng which hasnt been accused of wrongdoing by Apple or Tesla has said it plays by the rules and has denied having any part in the engineers alleged misconduct. The company has said that when it was notified in June 2018 that U.S. authorities were investigating the Apple engineer, his computer and office equipment were secured and he was denied access to his work and subsequently fired.Xpeng, which is backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Foxconn Technology Group, is among the startups in China striving to reshape the auto industry as the worlds biggest market promotes new-energy vehicles in an effort to clean its air and cut its reliance on oil

A police officer hands out a ticket to a motorist during a distracted driving blitz on Tuesday, May 17, 2016 near the Midtown Bridge in Winnipeg, Manitoba.Chris Procaylo Police in Winnipeg say one of their officers was zapped in the face with a stun gun while he and another officer tried to arrest a suspected car thief. Officers were stopped by a group of people on Saturday afternoon who told them a male was trying to steal a nearby vehicle, and was inside it kicking at the windshield. Police say the officers found the suspect inside the car but he locked the doors and refused to come out. The owner of the vehicle eventually unlocked the car, but police say the suspect still refused to exit, and he fought with the officers when they tried to tried to arrest him. Const. Jay Murray says the officers tried to Taser the suspect, but he was able to get his finger into the trigger and allegedly zapped one of the officers in the face before they finally subdued him. Rodney Alvin Meeches, 32, of Winnipeg, faces charges that include theft of a vehicle, disarming a peace officer and assaulting a peace officer with a weapon. A video taken by a bystander, which Murray says is circulating on social media, shows two officers struggling with the suspect on the pavement outside the car while the clicking of the energy weapon is audible. You can hear the Taser cycling on and off, but the suspect actually gets his finger into the trigger and clamps down, so now it’s cycling repeatedly, Murray said. Then if you see the video, the officers, I believe they start to punch at that point in an attempt to get that Taser under control and take this person into custody. The suspect was eventually arrested and was taken to hospital where he was treated and released, and is now in custody. Police say they believe recent drug use may have played a role in the incident. Both officers later attended a hospital for treatment of injuries they sustained. Murray said the officer who wasn’t hit with the Taser will likely be off work for several days due to his
