TuSimple Embroiled In Resignation Scandal

San Diego-based autonomous trucking technology developer TuSimple appears to have become embroiled in a public spat over the resignation of one of its co-founders. TuSimple co-founder Xiaodi Hou apparently publicly accused TuSimple's CEO of retaliating against him due to disagreements over the CEO's compensation, and a shirt from Level 4 to Level 2 autonomy. The scandal adds to existing woes at the firm: the WSJ recently reported that the Justice Department is mulling espionage charges against a number of the company's executives.
