I am not a lawyer, but I wonder if Uber could argue: 1.) At the time of acquisition, Levandowski was one of the world's leading experts on self driving technology. 2.) As one of the world's leading experts, Levandowski was able to recruit an incredible team. 3.) Self driving technology could be worth trillions and, in Uber's particular case, it would remove one of their biggest cost centres, thus making their business instantly profitable.
