I thought the answer was 'no'? After all of the discovery and testimony, despite the supposed smoking gun of entire copied chips, the endless vilification of Uber and the FUD and rumors, they came up with next to nothing. Lewandowski had copied files from Google, but there was nowhere in the Uber cars that was just a bunch of Waymo stuff like the hyperventilating Google lawsuit had charged. (IIRC, Google even lost some patents during the case.) Seemed like a gigantic boondoggle for Google, and it wasn't even what killed Uber's self-driving car program.
