What? Nothing is implied. No one is starting over. Money changes hands and everyone saves face.

  > pledges not to use Waymo's trade secrets If this statement is indeed true and Uber isn't totally brazen, then yes it would imply that Uber is going to have to seriously clamp down on how it uses the data/IP they got from Otto (which clearly they got from Google/Waymo). Not a lawyer, but that's how I read it.

    They didn't get any IP from waymo, that is why waymo settled. There is no additional clamping down, they just need to continue to show alphabet that they're not doing anything fishy.

      See my point above. You don't settle if your claim is 100% baseless, so it's very unlikely that no trade secrets were obtained.
