Taking PCB design files and using them at a competing company absolutely is IP theft. I'm honestly surprised anyone would think they could even get away with this; the old company just has to get their hands on one of the competitor's units and open it up and look at it.
- ZhuanXia 7y agoMany of us do not believe IP is a legitimate property right.

I'm honestly surprised anyone would think they could even get away with this; the old company just has to get their hands on one of the competitor's units and open it up and look at it. I am not a Google employee but my understanding is that the biggest fear is not that Anthony Levandowski stole all the stuff but that Uber or another unscrupulous company would race ahead with inadequate self-driving causing a backlash that would bring down a legislative ban hammer on everyone, including Waymo. I think that is the real danger here. Personally, I don't want Anthony Levandowski in prison. I just want him or people like him to not be able to work on self-driving cars. I want self-driving cars to arrive and will gladly campaign to ban humans from being able to drive on public road when that day arrives.
