Chapter 383 The Klad Tech
A few days after the meeting, Aiden finally brought some good news.
As they had suspected, the issue wasn't with their self-driving system but with the car's braking system.
The brakes were the latest design from Keglaidan. Klad Tech was renowned for developing cutting-edge systems. Many luxury cars had already installed this new technology.
Given the impressive performance of self-driving cars, they didn't hesitate to choose Klad Tech's system during the tender, as the team was confident in its advanced technology.
No one anticipated that this technology would thrust self-driving cars into the center of a storm.
Aiden hurried back home with an official report from the relevant authorities once the investigation was complete. They sent a legal notice to Klad Tech from Etopia.
However, under the guise of protecting company secrets, Klad Tech refused to disclose or make public any details of the investigation and declined to release the core patents of their braking system.
This immediately escalated the difficulty of the investigation to an almost impossible level.
Aiden was usually calm and composed; he was visibly angry when he stepped off the plane and headed straight to the Dros Group.
He threw the documents on the table, his face filled with frustration.
Sitting at his desk, Orion glanced up coldly. "Aren't you going to take a break?" He asked in a detached
tone.
"I'm not in the mood!"
Aiden took a deep breath and explained, "After speaking with a lot of insiders, I found out that their braking system has been installed in a popular luxury car model. There have been over one hundred brake failure incidents. Every time there is talk of a lawsuit or media exposure, they use underhanded tactics to suppress it. That's why no negative news about them has ever surfaced."
"Did you confront them in person?" Orion asked quietly.
Aiden let out a cold chuckle and explained, "What's funny is that they don't take me seriously at all. Even when I presented them with the evidence, they insisted it was our self-driving system that was faulty. A bunch of arrogant capitalists-do they really think they can deceive everyone forever? I should talk to Seraphina about this and get her opinion." "You don't need to go."
Aiden was stunned. "What?"
"I'll talk to her," Orion said, his gaze intense.
Aiden was speechless and stared at him.
Bright!
"Oh, I see. So you're just looking for a reason to see

Chapter 383 The Klad Tech
Orion did exactly what he said-he informed Seraphina and left.
Though he'd like to stay longer, Seraphina wasn't in the mood to chat.

Understanding the situation, Orion kept it brief, telling her that he would handle the issue before leaving.
In the days that followed, rumblings began to emerge from Etopia, criticizing Klad Tech.
Seraphina had grasped the situation and instructed her team to look into the recent developments of the tech company. She couldn't help but be impressed by Orion's skill.
Over the next few days, reports began emerging from all over the country about brake system failures from the Klad Tech.
Numerous car owners connected with each other and formed a coalition to take on Klad Tech, determined
to hold them accountable.
But Klad Tech wasn't an ordinary company. Their investors were powerful figures from political and business circles around the world, giving them an aura of invincibility.
The company had previously employed somewhat clumsy tactics. Faced with so many car owners banding together, their arrogant approach only fueled public dissatisfaction. Gradually, the issue became impossible to hide from the public eye. While a company-initiated investigation could be kept under wraps, there was no way to conceal a case brought forward by the general public.
Klad Tech supplied components to various high-end car brands, and the braking system was just one of
many.
But the real issue lay with a specific luxury car series that had only recently launched. It had been marketed as having the most stable and safest braking system in the world, but this scandal shattered the public's faith in Klad Tech. The car's sales began to decline. Despite everything, the company stubbornly refused to acknowledge that their braking system was at fault. Instead, in a dramatic twist, they sued the consumers who had filed complaints.
Watching these bizarre actions unfold,
