> The CEO got charged with stealing tech and selling it to tesla
Wasn't it "selling" to Uber (instead of Tesla), and not the CEO, but the head engineer/founder of Waymo program[0]?
Note: "selling" in quotes, because he didn't sell anything to Uber while working at Waymo. Instead, he downloaded the confidential info before resigning from Waymo, and then took that info with him to start Otto (an autonomous teuck company). Otto eventually got acquired by Uber, and Levandowski became the head of Uber's autonomous car division.
