Lior Ron left Google, founded 280 systems, which turned into Ottomotto, which he and Levandowski were the two largest shareholders of. So... kind of cofounders of Ottomotto? idk

Ron has no experience with LIDAR or self-driving, he "hasn't touched anything engineering related in 10-15 years"

Ron set up a Slack in Nov 2015 to communicate with Levandowski

WAYMO: This is a message to you from Mr. Levandowski, right? RON: Yes. WAYMO: It says, "Let’s do Slack and iMessage only" And there’s a little wink there, right? RON: Yes.

I think one of my favorite things about the Stroz report was forensic analysis uncovering from wiped laptops that people frantically googled how to wipe their laptops right before

Poetzscher email to Ron and Levandowski, recommending lawyers. They note that Lyft uses Orrick, so “Would really prefer you choose O’Melveny. Or Goodwin Procter.”
Afficher cette discussion -
wonder how many Orrick, O'Melveny, and Goodwin Procter lawyers are currently reading this tweet and restraining themselves from faving

Ron sent an email to Larry Page that... was actually signed & from Anthony Levandowski? I can't say I understand why here

“Uber and others are ramping up quickly and are only 2 years behind at this point” “The team is not moving fast enough due to a combination of risk aversion and lack of urgency, we need to move faster” “We have team Lisa - now we need team Mac”

Sent to Lior Ron 1/16 "Hey can you write me the email I should send to Bryan of how he should announce that he is replacing me as laser team lead? He asked me to do that and I think it's great opportunity to setup evidence that I was pushed out"

WAYMO: So. He wanted to *set* *up* *evidence* that he was pushed out.

Day after this text Lior left, no advance notice, and formed Ottomotto 2 days later, January 15.

i mean yes you're in a bit of a bind -- if it ever goes to litigation and all they have is evidence that you used Wickr or Signal disappearing messages and there's no record, they can just wave their arms and say it's suspicious
Afficher cette discussion -
and leaving a record means that things can get taken out of context. But deleting messages and getting them forensically recovered? lmao worst of all possible fucking worlds

Excerpts from email that Lior Ron sent himself: 1/2/2016 > Help Uber win the self-driving race > Accelerate 300-500 m year, cut at least a year, probably more > Trucking - 700B/year potential
Afficher cette discussion -
This is before he quit Google, and many months before Otto acquisition, Ron had already had written down in notes "Help Uber win the self driving race"
Afficher cette discussion -
Now pulling up notes that Ron wrote, TK: This is all about winning. To win, we have to cross the finish line first, losing it not an option.

Oh, the second line is Lior Ron's own words, not TK. "To win, we have to cross the finish line first, losing it not an option."

Ron and Levandowski are still shareholders together in a holding company.
