Agreed. Reuters is already writing about how engineers need to be vigilant and the steps you should take to protect yourself: https://www.reuters.com/article/autonomous-uber-levandowski-...

I used filebin to create a link - should be fine. Otherwise the doc is behind a paywall.

244. Mr. Levandowski therefore seeks a declaration that Uber has no right to rescind the Indemnification Agreement without also rescinding the Otto transaction and returning all consideration received from that deal. 245. In addition, Mr. Levandowski seeks damages, including any consequential damages, arising out of Uber’s rescission of the Otto transaction.

Time zones are a huge problem! I can't connect. It's so taxing to find a time that works!

It's my understanding is that Google X is a marketing / PR platform for Google. Google X doesn't ever need to actually produce anything or create any real-world value because their value is in the PR they generate for Google - keeping them positioned through press as a technology company vs. the largest advertising company in the world. Many of the Google X projects are acquisitions/acquihires purchased to continue the narrative. It's why they never ship products and can't get anything out the door. If this works - it'll be one of the first after billions invested. They've done an excellent job I would say.

Why are you pulling from an article from last August? There is news happening in real-time about this with updates. The DOJ dropped all those charges. If they could have proven it they wouldn't have allowed a plea. He was accused not convicted...He plead because he's bankrupt from a civil suit with Google and the DOJ let it drop because their case isn't strong enough. Look at the Fitbit case. And funny enough - GOogle went on to buy them just a few months after.

Did you read any of the news articles? This isn't about stealing designs...

To your point. He started the program. Not that there is no fault - it's just ironic - Google mad people are "stealing" from them and they made billions by stealing all our data... In the end Google ended up shutting down its main SDC rival's entire program, recuperating all their money including employee salary, and raising 2.5 billion. Not too shabby

The document was an open meeting minutes team spreadsheet. It’s how Google runs their teams, tabs like OKRs, Metrics, Weekly Updates, Progress, etc. Definitely a valuable document but trade secret? jail? Bankruptcy? Meanwhile, Waymo just raised 2.5Billion.

Fraud? What? This trial hasn’t even gone to court. You’re making blanket statements about someone’s life based on accusations from a Big Tech company and their PR teams. This person has been accused -not convicted and is going bankrupt because he is fighting Google. I know this is a Bay Area forum - half of you probably work for Google but give me a break. They steal personal information from everyone who uses their products every single day. They buy up an competition - they don’t play fair. They are the largest advertising company in the world - let’s not pretend like they’re more than that. Or they are some virtuous company that wouldn’t personally go after someone who is a threat to them and working with a competitor. Destroying others so theirs is positioned to raise 2 Billion dollars. This guy just got caught in the crossfire. This is just parroting headlines.

It hasn’t even been decided if anything was stolen in the first place. It’s still in court. Only a civil trial has been settled.
