New allegations about Anthony Levandowski, the former Waymo and Uber employee, and his role in the companies’ legal dispute, have surfaced as part of a lawsuit filed by his children’s ex-nanny, as Wired first reported.
Why it matters: Throughout the case, there’s been a speculation about Levandowski and Uber’s conduct in regards to Waymo’s allegations of stolen trade secrets, in part because of missing documents and other evidence.
The former nanny’s claims:
Levandowski has allegedly been paying a Tesla employee for intel on its truck program.
He’s allegedly selling chip technology abroad.
He’s allegedly been involved with autonomous driving companies he’s not been publicly linked to.
He’s allegedly discussed plans to flee to Canada to escape prosecution.
