From master meeting notes! "He announced that he wanted to start his own company that was involved in autonomous trucks, which would not be a direct competitor to Google, that was the general agreement. "

"Uber is generally considered to be be Chauffeur’s main competitor, which contracts what they learned from Anthony, with his intent to not be in the same space and compete against Google."

Nobody looked at SVN server in February / March 2016 right after Levandowski left and started Otto. They only looked after the acquisition.

Another email from Aug 23, "John K. has now said he wants this investigation done in a week." It's Krafcik

UBER: Were you aware that the management was looking for something, *anything* to stop that deal?

Uber asks if there was tremendous pressure to get this done, Brown just responds, "Not any more than usual."

Another email from September 13 2016 "Have you finished reviewing all the Xoogler laptops?"
Afficher cette discussion -
UBER: And that’s not a typo, ex, ooglers refers to the former Googlers, right?
Afficher cette discussion -
UBER: You were looking at *everyone* who had left and was now at Uber, right?

Ok it's Kristinn Gudjonsson, I really mucked that one up repeatedly in every way possible

Part of the reason why they're only presenting logs transmitted back to Google is that Levandowski's laptop was "reassigned to inventory and repurposed." It was collected, wiped clean, and reassigned to someone around February 24 2016.
Afficher cette discussion -
Uber is saying that no one examined the laptop before it was repurposed.

Uber is trying to establish a suspicious gap of time between Levandowski leaving and the forensic investigation
Afficher cette discussion -
Essentially they're trying to say that Google only gave a shit after the acquisition — the entire investigation was an attempt to stop the acquisition, not something that happened as a matter of due diligence
Afficher cette discussion -
Uber says that no alarm bells went off when Levandowski took the documents — if they were so important, shouldn't there have been some kind of an alert established, or a security person assigned to keep an eye on the files?
Afficher cette discussion -
BROWN: I don’t know, it’s very hard to detect malicious insiders. UBER: But it’s not hard to detect whether someone downloads the entire database, that’s not hard, is it? BROWN: I don’t know.

WAYMO: Are you here to testify about the security precautions of the SVN server? BROWN: Not particularly. WAYMO: So whether there are certain precautions that should be taken with respect to the SVN server, you’re not in a position to testify about that, are you? BROWN: No.
Afficher cette discussion -
Waymo tries to ask Brown if it was "appropriate" for Levandowski to put the files on the memory card, Uber objects. ALSUP: You ask questions like ‘Don’t you think it would be a good idea,’ that’s the same thing. Uber lets it go.

Witness is excused, William Grossman is being sworn in.
Afficher cette discussion -
Grossman has been at Google in 2014, when Waymo was still the Chauffeur Project. It's clear why Waymo picked him as a witness — he's a NorCal native, went to high school, college, and grad school here, he still lives in Palo Alto. What a nice local boy etc
Afficher cette discussion -
He works on embedded systems, which he describes as "low level software combined with low level hardware"
Afficher cette discussion -
At Waymo he is works with the SDS (self-driving systems) architecture group. He does not work LIDAR but he has worked with LIDAR teams in the past.

He's asked to define a PCB. (a printed circuit board, "the basis of almost all modern electronics").
