GM says Hyundai poached exec who took self-driving car secrets

(Bloomberg) — General Motors Co. accused Hyundai Motor Co.‘s U.S. unit of poaching one of its top safety executives so it could gain access to trade secrets for self-driving vehicles and electric cars.

Brian Latouf, a 26-year GM veteran who left to become Hyundai’s chief safety officer, violated non-compete agreements with the move, GM said in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Tuesday. He also took proprietary information about GM’s “safety technology, advanced driver-assistance features, and autonomous vehicle development processes,” the company said.
