Interesting. The situation between Uber and Levendowski always reminded me of the prisoner dilemma. If one bails on the other, might the other starts talking about what really happened? I think that staying together would have been the best course of action for Uber. Very interesting to see how this will develop.
- untog 9y agoIf you talk about what happened it doesn't magically mean all the punishment falls on the other side. If Levendowski admits to breaking the law he'll be punished, no matter if he is or isn't friends with Uber at the time.
- openmosix 9y agoDepends. If the story is how Waymo pictured it (the entire acquisition was an orchestrated plan with Uber to take IPs out of Google), if I were Levandowski I'd be reaching out to Waymo and propose a deal. I'll give you information to crucify Uber but you let me go. I guess Waymo is after Uber more than a single engineer.
- hluska 9y agoThe only issue is Levandowski could still face criminal charges and, under the circumstances can he trust Waymo not to take every drop of that information and hand it over to the most proximate prosecutor?

- sjg007 9y agoThis will probably be a case study eventually.
