His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F.

If you pull up next to one of these, you might notice that even though a person is sitting in the driver’s seat, they aren’t really controlling the car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are self-driving cars — or autonomous vehicles, as they are known more formally — from a company called Waymo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Curious listener Lenore Kenny says she’s noticed a lot more of these on San Francisco streets than she used to see. She’s wondering, why are there so many? And what are they doing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[baycuriouspodcastinfo]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenore’s right: There are more autonomous vehicles, or AVs, on our roads. More than 1,400 are registered in California, up from 900 last November, according to the DMV. But San Francisco alone has more than 400,000 registered vehicles; the number of AVs is small by comparison. Still, in some parts of the city, you can count on seeing AVs every few minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo is not the only culprit. Nine AV companies are testing driverless tech in California right now, according to the California Public Utilities Commission. Companies like Cruise, Argo AI and Zoox are competing to crack the automated vehicle market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenore wants to know why more cars are on the road than before. The short answer is that companies developing AVs need data — lots of data — to ensure the cars can handle any driving situation. And, as anybody who has driven in San Francisco can attest, there’s a lot to think about when driving here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is an incredibly diverse driving environment,” says Sam Kansara, senior product manager for Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company, Alphabet. “Part of our increase in presence in San Francisco is about making sure our software and technology can perform well in all of those different environments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AV experiment uses the idea of machine learning. \u003ca href=\"https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/self-taught-self-driving-cars/\">Engineers created an algorithm that continues to get better as the test vehicles collect data.\u003c/a> The car “learns” from its experiences driving, building new scenarios into its algorithm and making it more reliable and safer over time. The more miles the cars drive, the more data they collect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The key of the algorithms is that in order to be efficient, they need to have a pretty big database of learning examples,” says Alexandre Bayen, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://its.berkeley.edu/\">UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies\u003c/a>. “That’s why you see so many of them collecting that data right now, because we’re not there yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been a long road to development for autonomous vehicles. They are certainly more visible on streets today, but AVs have been on California’s roads in one form or another for almost 30 years, beginning in 1997 in San Diego. The HOV lanes on I-15 were closed during the day, which allowed scientists and research engineers like Steven Shladover from \u003ca href=\"https://path.berkeley.edu/\">UC Berkeley’s California Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology program\u003c/a> to run vehicles for “a big public demonstration.” Until then testing had taken place primarily on test tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The technology has evolved from those early years and spawned things like adaptive cruise control — available on many modern automobiles — to cars that can drive themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are autonomous vehicles safe?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At this point, companies and scientists have been testing AVs on California streets since the 1990s, always with a human operator in the car in case of emergencies.

More than 1,400 are registered in California, up from 900 last November, according to the DMV. But San Francisco alone has more than 400,000 registered vehicles; the number of AVs is small by comparison. Still, in some parts of the city, you can count on seeing AVs every few minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waymo is not the only culprit. Nine AV companies are testing driverless tech in California right now, according to the California Public Utilities Commission. Companies like Cruise, Argo AI and Zoox are competing to crack the automated vehicle market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenore wants to know why more cars are on the road than before. The short answer is that companies developing AVs need data — lots of data — to ensure the cars can handle any driving situation. And, as anybody who has driven in San Francisco can attest, there’s a lot to think about when driving here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Francisco is an incredibly diverse driving environment,” says Sam Kansara, senior product manager for Waymo, which is owned by Google’s parent company, Alphabet. “Part of our increase in presence in San Francisco is about making sure our software and technology can perform well in all of those different environments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AV experiment uses the idea of machine learning. \u003ca href=\"https://www.bu.edu/articles/2021/self-taught-self-driving-cars/\">Engineers created an algorithm that continues to get better as the test vehicles collect data.\u003c/a> The car “learns” from its experiences driving, building new scenarios into its algorithm and making it more reliable and safer over time. The more miles the cars drive, the more data they collect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The key of the algorithms is that in order to be efficient, they need to have a pretty big database of learning examples,” says Alexandre Bayen, director of the \u003ca href=\"https://its.berkeley.edu/\">UC Berkeley Institute of Transportation Studies\u003c/a>. “That’s why you see so many of them collecting that data right now, because we’re not there yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been a long road to development for autonomous vehicles. They are certainly more visible on streets today, but AVs have been on California’s roads in one form or another for almost 30 years, beginning in 1997 in San Diego. The HOV lanes on I-15 were closed during the day, which allowed scientists and research engineers like Steven Shladover from \u003ca href=\"https://path.berkeley.edu/\">UC Berkeley’s California Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology program\u003c/a> to run vehicles for “a big public demonstration.” Until then testing had taken place primarily on test tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The technology has evolved from those early years and spawned things like adaptive cruise control — available on many modern automobiles — to cars that can drive themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Are autonomous vehicles safe?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At this point, companies and scientists have been testing AVs on California streets since the 1990s, always with a human operator in the car in case of emergencies. But cars can be deadly, so regulators are being cautious about approving AVs in their current state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re going to have to have some minimum standards set so that riders who aren’t specialists in this field can be given some reassurance that this is actually a safe system,” says Shladover.

The journey was a first of sorts, and under other circumstances, it might have drawn more attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last October, almost exactly two years after Otto's highly publicized \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes-first-delivery-50000-beers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorado beer run\u003c/a>, Levandowski climbed into the driver's seat of a Toyota Prius in San Francisco, headed north across the Golden Gate Bridge, then kept going all the way across the country, ending at New York City's George Washington Bridge less than four days later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't an all-time speed record, and it wasn't the first time someone made a mind-numbing cross-country drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unique part of the trip, which wasn't disclosed until December, was that Levandowski's vehicle was outfitted with advanced driver-assist technology developed by his latest startup, \u003ca href=\"https://pronto.ai/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pronto\u003c/a>. Levandowski and the company say the vehicle made the entire trip \"without any human intervention,\" save for refueling and rest breaks. The trip, \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/pronto-ai/pronto-means-ready-e885bc8ec9e9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Levandowski explained\u003c/a>, was part of realizing \"my life’s passion to make the life-saving potential of autonomous vehicles a reality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pronto, which like Levandowski's Otto is marketing a self-driving system for the trucking industry, published \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/306969319\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a time-lapse video\u003c/a> of the trip. After downloading it and watching it frame by frame, a few interesting patterns emerge:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Pronto system, or at least the version used for Levandowski's drive, has a lead foot.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Levandowski sets out across the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a highly publicized 45 mph speed limit due to a history of deadly crashes, his vehicle quickly accelerates to 55 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Dunton, a Pronto spokesman, said in an email last week \"the vehicle's speed was set by the system and was based on the surrounding traffic flow and posted speed limit, among other things using Pronto's proprietary technology.\"On the Golden Gate Bridge, he said in essence, that by exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph, the car's software was just keeping up with faster traffic and trying to stay safe and legal. Dunton points out the video shows Levandowski's Prius is passed repeatedly by faster traffic in the three northbound lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they were going 10 mph slower, they would have impeded traffic, which is against California's basic speed law,\" Dunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that argument hold water with the California Highway Patrol, responsible for enforcing the speed limit on the bridge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No. Absolutely not,\" said CHP Officer Andrew Barclay, with the CHP's Marin County unit. \"They could be pulled over for speeding at that point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barclay said the state's \"\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=22350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">basic speed law\u003c/a>\" — \"no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property\" — would not apply in the situation Dunton described.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunton didn't address the numerous other occasions the Prius is seen speeding as it crossed the country, except to say \"they generally drove with the flow of traffic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pronto — Italian for \"road boulder\"?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's video shows Levandowski and his Prius hanging out in the left lane, aka the \"fast\" lane, for inordinately long stretches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, at mile 151 of the trip, on Interstate 80 near the Sierra foothills town of Colfax, the vehicle takes to the left lane. And stays there. And stays there. And stays there. All the way across the mountains, through Reno and well beyond, even as faster vehicles pass on the right. The car finally returns to the right lane just east of the town of Fernley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about why the Pronto system didn't return the vehicle to the right lane to allow passing, as courtesy and the vehicle code would dictate, spokesman Dunton explained that the software was set to avoid possible conflicts with traffic entering the roadway from the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For the purposes of this early demo, (the team) wanted to maximize the chances of achieving this amazing milestone and therefore decided to have the car drive in left lane for a significant portion of the trip to reduce the number of merges with traffic,\" Dunton said.Why reduce the number of merges? Read on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Houston, we have a problem. With merging.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, after announcing Pronto's successful cross-country road trip, Levandowski took The Guardian's Mark Harris for \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/18/controversial-engineer-i-travelled-over-3000-miles-in-a-self-driving-car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 48-mile ride-along\u003c/a>. Harris said the system performed \"safely and competently,\" though Levandowski was forced to take control of the self-driving Prius at one point because it \"failed to merge into busy traffic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What can go wrong in a merge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pronto video, brief as it is, shows one harrowing example, a little more than 40 minutes into the trip, as Levandowski and his Prius attempt to merge onto eastbound Interstate 80 off of Highway 37 in Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Prius heads up the ramp – and up a moderately steep grade where entering vehicles are required to merge left as the number of freeway lanes is reduced gradually from six to four – the vehicle briefly accelerates to 72 mph. However, the Prius remains in the far right lane to the point where it ends and the vehicle is forced to move to the left. By that time, the vehicle is rapidly overtaking a much-slower-moving dump truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One imagines this was an \"oh, shit\" moment for Levandowski, who was at the outset of a 3,100-mile trip in which he hoped not to touch the vehicle's controls except when he needed to gas up, pee or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the car did, apparently with no input from him, was brake dramatically on the freeway – slowing to just 17 mph, according to the video – to avoid rear-ending the truck. The video doesn't show whether there was traffic immediately behind the Prius or whether other vehicles were also required to slow down. Eventually, the merge was completed and the Prius went on its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]B[/dropcap]eyond depicting the apparently successful road trip, the Pronto video carries another message that may be relevant to Levandowski's current situation and his attitude toward it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message comes in the video's sonorous voiceover.

It’s always safer to leave the car in the driveway. You’ll never learn from a real mistake.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an example of that attitude at work, Duhigg relates a story in which Levandowski is said to have been at the wheel of a self-driving Google vehicle involved in a near-crash with another car. The second car spun out and ended up in a freeway median, Duhigg writes, and Levandowski's passenger suffered a serious back injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Levandowski, rather than being cowed by the incident, later defended it as an invaluable source of data, an opportunity to learn how to avoid similar mistakes,\" Duhigg reports. \"He sent colleagues an email with video of the near-collision.

The journey was a first of sorts, and under other circumstances, it might have drawn more attention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last October, almost exactly two years after Otto's highly publicized \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/10/ubers-self-driving-truck-makes-first-delivery-50000-beers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Colorado beer run\u003c/a>, Levandowski climbed into the driver's seat of a Toyota Prius in San Francisco, headed north across the Golden Gate Bridge, then kept going all the way across the country, ending at New York City's George Washington Bridge less than four days later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't an all-time speed record, and it wasn't the first time someone made a mind-numbing cross-country drive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unique part of the trip, which wasn't disclosed until December, was that Levandowski's vehicle was outfitted with advanced driver-assist technology developed by his latest startup, \u003ca href=\"https://pronto.ai/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pronto\u003c/a>. Levandowski and the company say the vehicle made the entire trip \"without any human intervention,\" save for refueling and rest breaks. The trip, \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/pronto-ai/pronto-means-ready-e885bc8ec9e9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Levandowski explained\u003c/a>, was part of realizing \"my life’s passion to make the life-saving potential of autonomous vehicles a reality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pronto, which like Levandowski's Otto is marketing a self-driving system for the trucking industry, published \u003ca href=\"https://vimeo.com/306969319\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a time-lapse video\u003c/a> of the trip. After downloading it and watching it frame by frame, a few interesting patterns emerge:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Pronto system, or at least the version used for Levandowski's drive, has a lead foot.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Levandowski sets out across the Golden Gate Bridge, which has a highly publicized 45 mph speed limit due to a history of deadly crashes, his vehicle quickly accelerates to 55 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Dunton, a Pronto spokesman, said in an email last week \"the vehicle's speed was set by the system and was based on the surrounding traffic flow and posted speed limit, among other things using Pronto's proprietary technology.\"On the Golden Gate Bridge, he said in essence, that by exceeding the speed limit by 10 mph, the car's software was just keeping up with faster traffic and trying to stay safe and legal. Dunton points out the video shows Levandowski's Prius is passed repeatedly by faster traffic in the three northbound lanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If they were going 10 mph slower, they would have impeded traffic, which is against California's basic speed law,\" Dunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does that argument hold water with the California Highway Patrol, responsible for enforcing the speed limit on the bridge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No. Absolutely not,\" said CHP Officer Andrew Barclay, with the CHP's Marin County unit. \"They could be pulled over for speeding at that point.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barclay said the state's \"\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=22350\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">basic speed law\u003c/a>\" — \"no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway at a speed greater than is reasonable or prudent having due regard for weather, visibility, the traffic on, and the surface and width of, the highway, and in no event at a speed which endangers the safety of persons or property\" — would not apply in the situation Dunton described.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dunton didn't address the numerous other occasions the Prius is seen speeding as it crossed the country, except to say \"they generally drove with the flow of traffic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Pronto — Italian for \"road boulder\"?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company's video shows Levandowski and his Prius hanging out in the left lane, aka the \"fast\" lane, for inordinately long stretches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, at mile 151 of the trip, on Interstate 80 near the Sierra foothills town of Colfax, the vehicle takes to the left lane. And stays there. And stays there. And stays there. All the way across the mountains, through Reno and well beyond, even as faster vehicles pass on the right. The car finally returns to the right lane just east of the town of Fernley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about why the Pronto system didn't return the vehicle to the right lane to allow passing, as courtesy and the vehicle code would dictate, spokesman Dunton explained that the software was set to avoid possible conflicts with traffic entering the roadway from the right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For the purposes of this early demo, (the team) wanted to maximize the chances of achieving this amazing milestone and therefore decided to have the car drive in left lane for a significant portion of the trip to reduce the number of merges with traffic,\" Dunton said.Why reduce the number of merges? Read on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Houston, we have a problem. With merging.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last December, after announcing Pronto's successful cross-country road trip, Levandowski took The Guardian's Mark Harris for \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/dec/18/controversial-engineer-i-travelled-over-3000-miles-in-a-self-driving-car\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a 48-mile ride-along\u003c/a>. Harris said the system performed \"safely and competently,\" though Levandowski was forced to take control of the self-driving Prius at one point because it \"failed to merge into busy traffic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What can go wrong in a merge?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pronto video, brief as it is, shows one harrowing example, a little more than 40 minutes into the trip, as Levandowski and his Prius attempt to merge onto eastbound Interstate 80 off of Highway 37 in Vallejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the Prius heads up the ramp – and up a moderately steep grade where entering vehicles are required to merge left as the number of freeway lanes is reduced gradually from six to four – the vehicle briefly accelerates to 72 mph. However, the Prius remains in the far right lane to the point where it ends and the vehicle is forced to move to the left. By that time, the vehicle is rapidly overtaking a much-slower-moving dump truck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One imagines this was an \"oh, shit\" moment for Levandowski, who was at the outset of a 3,100-mile trip in which he hoped not to touch the vehicle's controls except when he needed to gas up, pee or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the car did, apparently with no input from him, was brake dramatically on the freeway – slowing to just 17 mph, according to the video – to avoid rear-ending the truck. The video doesn't show whether there was traffic immediately behind the Prius or whether other vehicles were also required to slow down. Eventually, the merge was completed and the Prius went on its way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">B\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>eyond depicting the apparently successful road trip, the Pronto video carries another message that may be relevant to Levandowski's current situation and his attitude toward it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message comes in the video's sonorous voiceover.

Uber agreed to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11649025/uber-googles-waymo-settle-case-over-trade-secrets-for-self-driving-cars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settle the case for $245 million last year\u003c/a>, but the presiding judge made an unusual recommendation to open a criminal probe after seeing enough evidence to conclude a theft may have occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber considered having self-driving technology crucial to survive and counter potential competitive threats from Waymo and dozens of other companies working on robotic vehicles. Uber wants to build self-driving cars so it can eliminate the need to have a human behind the wheel, one of the biggest expenses in its still-unprofitable ride-hailing service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthony Levandowski, a pioneer in robotic vehicles, was charged with 33 counts of trade secrets theft. Each count carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or $8.25 million if convicted of all counts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles Ehrlich, one of Levandowski's attorneys, maintained his innocence in a statement read outside the courthouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He didn't steal anything, from anyone,\" Ehrlich said. \"This case rehashes claims already discredited in a civil case that settled more than a year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors say the probe is ongoing, but they wouldn't say whether Uber and former CEO Travis Kalanick are targets. Prosecutors say Google, Waymo and Uber cooperated in the investigation. Uber issued a statement Tuesday promising to continue to cooperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Tuesday's indictment didn't charge Uber, it's a stain for a company that has been trying to recover from a series of scandals since jettisoning Kalanick two years ago. Besides trying to reverse perceptions that it's a technological thief, Uber has been dealing with fallout from its own acknowledgement of rampant sexual harassment, its use of software designed to dupe regulators and a yearlong cover-up of a hacking attack that stole the personal information of 57 million passengers and 600,000 drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case seems unlikely to endear Uber with investors already skeptical about the company's ability to make money after piling up billions of dollars of losses. The lack of profits is the main reason the company's stock has fallen about 25% below the price set during its much-ballyhooed initial public offering of stock in May. Nonetheless, Uber's stock fell less than 1% after the announcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11331659,news_11459348,news_11647949' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FBI depicted its pursuit of the complex case as a sign of its commitment to protecting technology considered vital to the economy's growth. \"Silicon Valley is not the Wild West,\" said John Bennett, the FBI agent in charge of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors say Levandowski turned himself in earlier Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levandowski was accused of stealing years of top-secret information, which prosecutors likened to the crown jewels of the Waymo spinoff. That included breakthroughs in lidar, a key piece of technology that enables self-driving cars to detect what's around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the Waymo trial, Kalanick conceded that Uber needed to develop self-driving cars if it hoped to maintain its early position as the world's largest ride-hailing service.

Uber agreed to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11649025/uber-googles-waymo-settle-case-over-trade-secrets-for-self-driving-cars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">settle the case for $245 million last year\u003c/a>, but the presiding judge made an unusual recommendation to open a criminal probe after seeing enough evidence to conclude a theft may have occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber considered having self-driving technology crucial to survive and counter potential competitive threats from Waymo and dozens of other companies working on robotic vehicles. Uber wants to build self-driving cars so it can eliminate the need to have a human behind the wheel, one of the biggest expenses in its still-unprofitable ride-hailing service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anthony Levandowski, a pioneer in robotic vehicles, was charged with 33 counts of trade secrets theft. Each count carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, or $8.25 million if convicted of all counts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miles Ehrlich, one of Levandowski's attorneys, maintained his innocence in a statement read outside the courthouse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He didn't steal anything, from anyone,\" Ehrlich said. \"This case rehashes claims already discredited in a civil case that settled more than a year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors say the probe is ongoing, but they wouldn't say whether Uber and former CEO Travis Kalanick are targets. Prosecutors say Google, Waymo and Uber cooperated in the investigation. Uber issued a statement Tuesday promising to continue to cooperate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Tuesday's indictment didn't charge Uber, it's a stain for a company that has been trying to recover from a series of scandals since jettisoning Kalanick two years ago. Besides trying to reverse perceptions that it's a technological thief, Uber has been dealing with fallout from its own acknowledgement of rampant sexual harassment, its use of software designed to dupe regulators and a yearlong cover-up of a hacking attack that stole the personal information of 57 million passengers and 600,000 drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case seems unlikely to endear Uber with investors already skeptical about the company's ability to make money after piling up billions of dollars of losses. The lack of profits is the main reason the company's stock has fallen about 25% below the price set during its much-ballyhooed initial public offering of stock in May.
