You are right, and it could be the article. Pulling details from another place the same story, but from The Verge, and discussed elsewhere. https://lemmy.nz/post/3702572
Valeo and Nvidia competed on a contract. Valeo only won the hardware part, Nvidia only won the software part. The lawsuit is about Nvidia benefiting on the software part Valeo did to attempt to win the whole contract.
Ah, there's the rub. Thanks I was having a hard time figuring this one out.

TL;DR NVidia and Valeo competed for an AI contract, Valeo won the hardware side but NVidia won the software (surely that's backwards lol). The two companies had to work together on the project, it was during such a project call that Moniruzzaman was caught with old Valeo code.
So yeah, that's much more damning, and the Fortune article did a poor job with the story by not explaining that.
