> Google’s head legal honcho David Drummond joins the Uber Board. So, this means that any municipality thinking of messing with Uber (which seems to happen monthly) will now have to think twice about getting into fisticuffs with Google.

This is potentially bigger than the investment itself, because it will probably do more to ensure the survivability of the company than the money they received, which they would've gotten from other places later anyway.
