Buy a team for $680M? You serious? :) From my understanding they bought a functioning truck prototype, corresponding IP's AND the team.

- brandon 9y agoThe document shows in great detail that Kalanick and Levandowski were already working together closely before work on the truck even began. 2016-01-26 - Levandowski's last day at Google 2016-02-22 - iMessage chatter directly between Levandowski and Kalanick about poaching more Google employees That certainly paints the "acquisition" of Ottomotto in August 2016 in a different light, no? It's also shown in the document that Levandowski was meeting with Kalanick and other Uber execs as early as June 2015, though it's harder to divine what was happening at that time.
