No it doesn't.
It still gives them between 6 months and 18 months (whenever the contract expires in 2019) to continue working on this project. They may even finish it during that timeframe. This is purely PR fluff.
- strainer 8y agoIts not PR fluff that one of the worlds most prestigious workforces has publicly rejected this kind of work. Money cant buy that quality of publicity, it has come from the hearts and minds of the workforce.
- craftyguy 8y agoIf they had listened, they would pull out immediately. Not sure if you realize that they'll continue working on this for a few more months before they are out...
- strainer 8y agoThere is certainly going to be a special atmosphere while the few unlucky engineers finish up the existing contract for legalities sake.
- crb002 8y agoUnlikely. Alphabet will spin off the division and sell it for blood$.
- therealtomsmith 8y agoAgreed. I used to think google wasnt helping develop killer drones. Them deciding that eventually stopping their killer drone project for the military would be better for business doesn't impress me.
- jzl 8y agoRead articles about the leaked emails. They clearly talk about segueing from this project into additional multi-hundred-million-dollar contracts. So yes, it's a huge win if the Pentagon contracts die with Maven.
