Judge Alsup blocked Levandowski from working on LIDAR, which is just one component, he's free to work on the rest. I'm sure this isn't the ruling Waymo was hoping for, it's little more than a speed bump for Uber, there's other LIDAR suppliers out there.
I got the smackdown pretty hard here on HN for suggesting Waymo's case wasn't as strong as it looked when they first presented their evidence, but it isn't over yet, the Feds may do a criminal investigation and they may yet find something worth prosecuting over.
