google uber: Uber agreed to pay Waymo 245 million to settle the case, but the federal judge overseeing the lawsuit made an unusual recommendation to open a criminal probe. ; Uber considered having self-driving technology crucial to survive, according to The Japan Times. Anthony Levandowski, a pioneer in robotic vehicles, was charged with 33 counts of trade secrets theft. The indictment filed by the U.S. Attorney's office in San Jose, California, is an offshoot of a lawsuit filed in 2017 by Waymo, a self-driving car pioneer spun off from Google. He could be sentenced up to 10 years and fined 250,000 per count, 8.25 million altogether. Prosecutors say Google and Uber cooperated in the investigation. Prosecutors say the probe is ongoing, but they wouldn't say whether Uber and former CEO Travis Kalanick are targets.
