Uber is painting a picture of a team that is bleeding talent. I think they might try to position the case as Google trying to make an example out of Levandowski to prevent attrition
July 2017 email to Larry Page after losing another guy: "FYI Sergey we lost another laser guy to Otto. .... Our hiring freeze and the attractive SDC offers out there are definitely impacting us."
i'm not sure the ins and outs of labor scarcity / elite labor conditions in Silicon Valley are going to mean that much to the jury but personally I find this fascinating
Even with the long description of his wonderful kidshttps://twitter.com/Ross_Todd/status/960613133529346048 …
We're now getting a long list of employees lost to Otto. UBER: Brian Celeste leaves too, is that correct? KRAFCIK: Correct. UBER: Russell Smith leaves too, is that correct? KRAFCIK: Correct. And it keeps going.
Krafcik says that their team was hundreds of people so these aren't actually that many lost. Emails suggest he was a little concerned tho!
Uber has gotten Krafcik to say that at the time they filed the lawsuit, he was not aware of what the trade secrets at issue even were
KRAFCIK: At the time there were more than eight. Skating dangerously to saying that there were originally over a hundred, which I believe is not supposed to be presented as evidence (but could come in through the backdoor)
Cross examination is done. We're now on to redirect.
Waymo asks about Chris Urmson. KRAFCIK: He left and started his own company. WAYMO: Has Waymo filed a lawsuit against him for misappropriation of trade secrets? KRAFCIK: No we did not.
Now going down a list of many of the engineers they lost and asking if Waymo sued them or accused them of misappropriation of trade secrets. No, no, no, and no, etc.
WAYMO: Did you file a lawsuit against Apple accusing them of misappropriation of trade secrets? KRAFCIK: No. WAYMO: Tesla? KRAFCIK: No. WAYMO: Toyota? KRAFCIK: No.
Now we're in recross. UBER: None of those companies are directly competing with Waymo in the ridesharing business, are they? Krafcik waffles, Uber rephrases. Krafcik affirms none of those companies are currently in the ridesharing business.
We got a re-redirect and a re-recross lol but it wasn't very interesting. Re-recross did mention Elon Musk specifically.
Dmitri Dolgov is next. There's only 10 minutes left (Alsup never goes over 1 pm), so Waymo is going to try to speed through this and make the best of it.
Dmitri Dolgov is VP of Engineering at Waymo, has worked at Google for a while. Lmao he got a question about his kids too
While discussing his educational background, Waymo asks him to explain DARPA to the jury
Dolgov was brought on to Google specifically to work on self-driving cars — Project Chauffeur. In those early days, no one else (in the private sector) was working on this tech.
gosh i hope they bring out toy cars and smush them together for the jury
Dolgov is explaining how self-driving car technology works with slides that show 3D models of cars in a parking lot and brightly colored lines and boxes to indicate obstacles and trajectories
Lawyer asks how Waymo's self-driving car works and Dolgov rushes through a sentence like he's extremely tired of answering this question: "The cars take all the information that’s around and predict the future and combine that with their understanding of the rules of driving an
1 pm. Jury is done for the day. Dolgov will be back tomorrow. Doing some motions practice now
We're fighting out some docs including the Stroz report, which Uber says is hearsay upon hearsay
Is the other document the Jacobs letter? didn't catch.
STILL NOT A SEX THINGhttps://twitter.com/lyndon_bae_j/status/960620580235038720 …
Alsup tells them to brief him by 6 am tomorrow and says "that's why you're paid $1000 an hour, to stay up all night."
It's only the first day of Waymo v. Uber and Travis Kalanick already looks ridiculoushttps://www.theverge.com/2018/2/5/16975878/waymo-v-uber-trial-opening-statements-travis-kalanick-emails …

The worst quote from the exhibits shown today is “laser is the sauce,” followed closely by the enigmatic “pound of flesh” that Travis Kalanick wantshttps://www.theverge.com/2018/2/5/16975878/waymo-v-uber-trial-opening-statements-travis-kalanick-emails …
