Ex-Google engineer charged with stealing company secrets before joining Uber as it scrambled to catch up in the race to build robotic vehicles. (This replaces an earlier tweet that erroneously reported that the engineer was accused of selling secrets.)

the personal information of 57 million passengers and 600,000 drivers.

During the Waymo trial, Kalanick conceded that Uber needed to develop self-driving cars if it hoped to maintain its early position as the world’s largest ride-hailing service. But he denied that he ever resorted to stealing technology from Google, whom he believed was an ally until he began to suspect the company intended to launch its own ride-hailing service consisting entirely of its robotic vehicles.

Uber denied know anything about those documents, but eventually fired him after he repeatedly asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination leading up to the trial.

Make up your mind.....which one is it?!?

Uber has been an unethical company from day one. It muscled it’s way into cities around the world without getting licenses or permits and fought everyone using lawyers and PR with it’s deep pockets. I never use them.

If the secrets are owned by Google the suit has merit.

Is he Chinese?

How ironic! Uber drivers working their asses off to support executives in multi million $$ jobs, who are using that $ to put their asses out of work as a thank you....lol. I love capitalism!

From the world news it called priority.. We need a self drive car due to humans are to stupid in order to drive self.. Artificial intelligence would never overcome human stupidity.. 💩

This Ex-Google engineer just practiced what he was taught at Google to STEAL people's information and habbits is a COMMON PRACTICE. So what came first chicken or egg?

In as complicated a universe as you need it to be, never, ever get caught in the middle of a clash of mountains, moose, or maniacs
