But even prior to the cc fail, Google was trying to figure out what exactly Levandowski had done during his final months at the company, and how he had convinced several employees to launch a competing startup with him. A lawyer for Google contacted Waymo employees in September 2. Levandowski and two other former employees. The lawyer, Tom Gorman of Keker, Van Nest Peters, zeroed in on the fact that Levandowski had accessed a database of lidar files only once, copying it in its entirety. However, the Google engineer he corresponded with didnt find Levandowskis behavior very suspicous. Its all electronics designsschematics and PCB printed circuit board layoutsand the component library for their creation. It was considered low value enough that we had even considered hosting it off of Google infrastructure, the engineer wrote. He was a high level manager, and not doing any direct technical contribution at this level. Its not particularly surprising that he might check things out once in the misguided dream of maybe making individual contribution or maybe taking a look at the progress of a widget. It clearly wasnt part of his routine. Doesnt ring the alarm bells for me. In another email, the engineer explained that these schematics werent valuable compared to Waymos proprietary software. Google Hacking For Email Addresses. At least historically, high value has been algorithms and software. The hardware at all levels was a second class citizen. Maybe opinions have changed, he wrote. A redacted version of the emails was initially filed in August. Uber has pushed for several weeks to lift the redactions on the emails, and Waymo finally submitted a more complete version today. For months, Google has based its lawsuit on 1. Uber spokesperson in a statement on Wednesday. Now we learn from internal emails that Google knew from the beginning that these files were actually considered low value. This is why Google has been fighting so hard to conceal the emails that are being made public today, an Uber spokesperson said in a statement. However, Waymo notes that the engineers impressions of Levandowskis behavior were written before the notorious cc fail, and before Waymo realized that Levandowski tried to hide evidence of the download. Uber is trying to make something out of nothing. The emails reflect initial impressions of a limited set of facts at only the very beginning of the investigation. As we later learned, Levandowski downloaded the files on the very same days he met with Uber and he actively tried to erase his digital footprints, suggesting he knew he was taking valuable materials. The egregious theft of Waymos files is just one piece of evidence among many others that Uber is using stolen Waymo trade secrets, a Waymo spokesperson said.
