This is a bit strange. Remember, Waymo is the plaintiff, and Uber's lawyer is asking the questions.

There's a long series of questions about Levandowski's $120 million bonus. Uber is establishing that Levandowski's contribution was valuable, which is the opposite of what they want to prove. There's a big censored section which may have to do with Levandowski's compensation agreement.

There's a censored discussion of Sebastian Thrun ("He was CEO of Udacity").

Uber's lawyer asks Page how much Google invested in Uber. Page evades.

There's discussion of conflict between Levandowski and Chris Urmson. Levandowski wanted to be in charge. Page says Levandowski's contribution may have been negative.

There's more, but if there's anything exciting in there, it's in the censored sections.



maybe Uber wants to show that Levandowski is the prized asset -- not any documents he might have taken with him

if the documents are known to have been taken, all they can do is downplay their significance
