As much as I want to see an immoral company to crash and burn, the presented evidences so far have been circumstantial. There is a lack of direct evidences that Uber was stealing IP, as opposed to Levandowski.
- wavefunction 9y agoHow did the manufacturer of the LIDAR component get the same exact design for Otto that they had built for Waymo? I think it's pretty obvious what happened but there are a lot of folks who want to whistle and look the other way.
- xyzzy_plugh 9y agoHave you ever dealt with vendors? They'll happily "help" you design boards using solutions from their other customers. They'll let you run some sample fabs on your competitors equipment. They'll accidentally put your design docs in the same ftp folder as your competitors. There are a lot of ways and they're more obvious than what you imply.
- bb611 9y agoSome will, some won't. Since everyone basically agrees that Levandowski downloaded these files from google, Occam's Razor suggests that the guy who knowingly stole the files provided them along. Doesn't rule out a different sort of malfeasance, but certainly it's worth exploring that avenue to the fullest.
- andygates 9y ago> the presented evidences so far have been circumstantial ...and that's what makes all Uber/Lev's avoidance look as damning as it is. If the stuff they're not saying cleared them, they'd present more of it - enough to make their case.
