The company Uber sacked Anthony Lewandowski, who came to the service from Google. In Google, he was the head of the project to develop software and sensors for unmanned vehicles, and not so long ago came to Uber. In the winter of 2017, Waymo, which is part of the Alphabet holding company (its part is also Google), filed a lawsuit against Uber, accusing the service of using stolen technology.

It was alleged that Anthony Lewandowski, having left the employer, took with him in electronic form 14 thousand. "Highly confidential" files concerning unmanned technologies. In Uber, he also served as the head of the project to create an unmanned vehicle.

From duties he was removed in April, and in Uber tried to prove his innocence and groundless accusations. Lewandowski, in turn, refused to cooperate with the employer, for which he was dismissed.
