Uber Technologies Inc. Chief Executive Officer Dara Khosrowshahi said Thursday that "it sure looked like" former executive Anthony Levandowski took information on self-driving cars from his former employer, Google.
Prosecutors charged Levandowski this week with 33 counts of stealing trade secrets from Alphabet Inc.’s autonomous-vehicle unit Waymo. The charges revive a painful period for Uber when co-founder Travis Kalanick still ran the company. Levandowski was fired by Uber and Kalanick later resigned and was replaced by Khosrowshahi two years ago.
