Uber-Waymo Self-Driving Car Suit: Another Uber Executive's Name Is Revealed

A second Uber executive named in the lawsuit filed by Waymo against the app-based cab hailing company has been revealed through a redacting error in a court document. This comes about a month after the first executive was named in the initial lawsuit filed by Waymo in February. After Anthony Levandowski, Lior Ron has now been alleged of stealing secret self-driving car technology from Waymo, the self-driving car unit of Google's parent, Alphabet . Both Levandowski and Ron were former employees of Google, from where they quit to start their own self-driving car company, Otto. The company was acquired by Uber for $680 million in August 2016, just three months after it began operations.
