We're back to Waymo's direct of Kalanick, we're now looking at more John Bares emails. So far what the jury has seen is Not Great but not explosive. It seems like Waymo is ramping up to it becoming gradually stupider and stupider until they get to Michael Douglas

There's a Bares email that says that one of the benefits of the acquisition is the "IP in [Otto engineers'] heads" WAYMO: And intellectual property includes trade secrets, sir? KALANICK: It does.
