Tesla has denied reports of hiring ex-Cruise Head of Autonomy, Henry Kuang, for the position of Director of AI and Deep Learning for Autonomous Driving.
Rumors circulated about Kuang's appointment, fueled by a fake LinkedIn profile created for him, which has since been removed.
Recent high-level turnover at Tesla includes the departure of Omead Afshar, known as Elon Musk's right-hand man, and Jenna Ferrua, Tesla's Human Resources Head in Austin.
Tesla recently launched its Robotaxi platform, offering driverless rides to the public for the first time.
