The sheer amount of misinformation in this thread is astounding.

He wrote no code, literally did not prototype anything, contributed nothing.

Self driving cars take 100s of moving pieces and complex algorithms. You can literally just check the github repo to see who has contributed what. There is no one IDEA that is the silver bullet. Its an entire system working together.

Obviously I can't say much as most is hearsay (though I do believe what I've heard), but the one part of this story that irks me the most is that this all started when Jeremy (allegedly) drunk at a party, bragged to Cruise's counsel that he could stall the GM deal if he really wanted to. Can't believe its actually come to this.

I feel for the engineers there. All their hard work, and likely they will have to lose a large portion of their shares due to indemnity clawbacks when the deal goes through.
