I dont see a reason that waymo has to license anything to a potential competitor that they could very easily put out of business instead, especially at such a low amount.

The risk in such cases is always that the defendant will use their own patent library to countersue. So the plaintiff has an incentive to settle.

It's a lot different if Uber is found, as is alleged, to have induced the employee to take the secrets and bring them to Uber.
