This whole time I've been asking where is Uber in really deep shit? So here you go, Drogans, there could be some deep shit flooding out from Uber's septic tank.
And the Trial is delayed again, at Judge Alsup's request. This whole time Alsup has been like 'let's get this on with already'. Now he's pushing back the trial date based on what the DOJ showed him behind a closed door.
Now here's a weird thing. Larry Page has 3 flying car companies, and he funds them all himself. One of them is Kitty Hawk, of which Sebastien Thrun is CEO. Anthony Levandowski has worked for Kittyhawk, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if Levandowski was doing work for Kitty Hawk after he left Waymo, but it's possible he did.
Larry Page also has a secret Flying car company called Tiramisu[1]:
>A motion filed last month by Uber to force Google's self-driving car spinoff company Waymo to provide witnesses on a range of topics reveals the existence of Tiramisu.
>The company is listed as relevant to an ongoing Uber-Google self-driving car spat because it alleges that Anthony Levandowski, the engineer accused of stealing lidar and other technical secrets from his workplace at Google's self-driving car project and taking them to Uber, may have been working for the company in his free time.
Now, in the Depositions of Larry Page and Travis Kalanick, it had been revealed that they had been in talks about Flying Cars, or VTOL aircraft. Possibly you recall when Uber dropped the white paper for Uber Elevate[2]. Uber has been talking about flying cars in the news, and has forecast 2020[3] as the year they reveal or deploy some kind of autonomous vertical take off and landing taxi.
So there is possibility that Uber and Larry Page are involved together in some way in Tiramisu. If true, there is also a possibility that Sebastien Thrun and Anthony Levandowski have both been involved. And as an extension of that, there is the possibility that they've already been using Waymo's top-secret technology in flying autonomous vehicles for Tiramisu for years. This increases the liklihood that Page may have known about the Otto stunt before it happened.
Alsup I think just learned about all this from the DOJ. Something is going on there with Tiramisu that screws everything up.
