Anthony Levandowski, a pioneer in self-driving car technology, was criminally charged on Tuesday, Aug. 27 with stealing trade secrets from his former employer Google before joining rival Uber Technologies Inc.
The 33-count indictment made public by the U.S. Department of Justice largely mirrors allegations that the Waymo unit of Google parent Alphabet Inc, where Levandowski had worked, made in a 2017 civil lawsuit against Uber, which later settled.
