Uber has taken enough PR hits that one more won't matter.

What matters is whether Uber will receive an injection on their self driving car project.

The autonomous vehicle war is going to be over in under 5 years. Uber is all in on that, and they cannot afford to be delayed by any amount of time that is measured in years.

And maybe not by a matter of time measured in months. But how long do court cases take? Years, not months (especially if Google decided to try to make it take longer).
