- Alphabet’s (GOOG, GOOGL) Waymo produces the due diligence report that a judge ordered Uber (UBER) to turn over in the pending trade secret case.
- Uber completed the report while considering the acquisition of Otto, the self-driving truck start-up founded by ex-Waymo engineer Anthony Levandowski.
- Waymo says the report shows Levandowski stole and accessed Google files then tried to destroy the evidence.
- Uber says the report was commissioned to make sure it didn’t end up with any Google IP.
- Levandowski had the files stored in multiple locations and devices, according to the report, and accessed some files up to two months after he left Google.
