Tesla dispels reports that it hired ex-Cruise Autonomy head Henry Kuang
Briefly

Tesla has rejected claims that it has hired Henry Kuang, the former head of autonomy at GM's Cruise, for a key position related to AI and autonomous driving. This comes after media outlets mistakenly reported the news based on a fake LinkedIn profile. The company is also experiencing significant turnover, with important figures such as Omead Afshar and HR Head Jenna Ferrua recently departing. In contrast to these departures, Tesla has initiated its Robotaxi service, providing driverless rides to select users.
Tesla has officially denied reports regarding the hiring of Henry Kuang as its Director of AI and Deep Learning for Autonomous Driving, labeling it as 'fake news.'
A fake LinkedIn profile was created for Kuang, which misled media into reporting his recruitment by Tesla, but it has since been removed.
The company recently experienced notable turnover with the exits of key figures including Omead Afshar and HR Head Jenna Ferrua, in the wake of internal shifts.
The launch of Tesla's Robotaxi platform this week marks a significant step towards driverless rides being made available to the public for the first time.
