Tesla filed a lawsuit in January claiming Anderson teamed up with Chris Urmson, the former boss of Google's self-driving-car project, to launch a competing company called Aurora Innovation while still serving as Tesla's Autopilot director.
Aurora has agreed to undergo future audits to ensure Anderson isn't keeping or using any of Tesla's intellectual property as part of the settlement, a Tesla spokesperson told Business Insider.
"Today, less than three months after filing (and even before we were permitted to file a response) Tesla has withdrawn its claims, without damages, without attorney’s fees, and without any finding of wrongdoing," Anderson wrote in the post.
