Anthony Levandowski was charged with stealing secrets from Google before he joined Uber Technologies Inc.

Anthony Levandowski , a pioneer in self-driving car technology, was criminally charged on Tuesday with stealing trade secrets from his former employer Google before joining rival Uber Technologies Inc.

The judge set a preliminary bail package of US$300,000 cash and the pledging as collateral of two properties worth US$2 million. Another hearing to set final bail terms was scheduled for Sept 4, as government lawyers said they needed more time to assess Levandowski’s finances. Prosecutors accused Levandowski of stealing materials in late 2015 and early 2016 related to Waymo’s self-driving car technology.

Anderson declined to answer a reporter’s question on whether Uber could also face any criminal charges. An Uber spokesman said the company had cooperated with the government throughout its investigation and would continue to do so.
