I'm not sure how much I would trust any promise from Uber to not continue to use technology they already have, even if it was stolen. Uber doesn't seem the company to just say "Ok" and delete the information that wasn't theirs. I would be skeptical a lot of under the table development is still in action, but with a better mindset of not getting caught in place.
- thanksgiving 9y agoI'd imagine Uber's consent to not use waymo trade secrets comes with Uber agreeing that the points in contention are waymo trade secrets. Doesn't that mean waymo has a very good standing if Uber were to use these trade secrets? I mean this is better than a patent because a trade secret will never expire in perpetuity, right? I also imagine this extends to anyone acting on Uber's behalf?
- dragonwriter 9y agoI'd imagine that the commitment to Uber and Waymo working together to assure that Waymo trade secrets are not used that is referenced in the settlement announcement involves more than Uber promising and Waymo accepting assurances at a distance.
