German newspaper Handelsbatt reported today that it received 100GB of data from
informants at Tesla, containing information on the thousands of complaints the
car manufacturer has received throughout the past years regarding its Autopilot
self-driving feature.



The collection of data contains 23,000 internal files spanning from 2015 to
2022, detailing how Tesla allegedly received 3,900 reports of self-acceleration
and brake function issues, including involuntary emergency braking and phantom
stops due to false collision warnings. In addition to this, the files also
contain more than 1,000 crash reports and "a table of 3,000 incidents wherein
drivers expressed safety concerns about Tesla's driver assistance system."

These incidents primarily occurred in the United States, though some complaints
also came from Tesla owners in Europe and Asia.

The files also include personal identifiable information (PII) such as Social
Security numbers, salaries, private email addresses, and bank details on more
than 100,000 former and current employees, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk
himself.



Data-protection watchdogs located in the Netherlands stated that they are
looking into the leak. According to Brandenburg data protection officer Dagmar
Hartge, who described the leak as "massive," Dutch authorities will have several
weeks to decide on whether to continue the proceedings on the case according to
European procedures. 



"I can't remember such a scale," Hartge said in regard to the gravity of the
leak.

For Tesla's part, the car manufacturing company has made no public statements as
of this posting.
