Levan owski and through uber and the way mo unit accused of trading secrets when he left one company for the other. This press conference just wrapped up in the last ten minutes or so. Were just getting our first look at that indictment. So well be looking through that for the details but i can tell you that it was unsealed today. And its because he was a Google Engineer at the time, a Founding Member of the group that worked on the selfdriving car project. He worked on that project from 2009 until he resigned without notice from google. He eventually made his way over to uber and worked there. Now neither of these Silicon Valley valley giants are named in the indictment. The u. S. Attorney involved said that they have been fully cooperative and they have gib access to records in trying to resolve this case and research this case. Here is comment from the u. S. Attorney. Silicon valley is not the fastpace and competitive environment does not mean federal laws dont apply or they could be ignored. The fbi will not tolerate the theft of trade secrets and i want to be clear on what we consider trade secrets. These are the crown jewels of companies. Reporter now there is no dollar figure mentioned in this indictment. But we do know that because uber anthony levanowski went over to uber that both companies have been involved in that case and certainly the prosecution of the case that will come later on down the road. We just heard from the attorney who is representing anthonyp levanowski and it says in part that he didnt steal anything from anyone. He said this case rehashes claims already discredited in a civil case that was settled more than a year and a half ago. The downloads at issue occurred while anthony was still working at google when he and his team were authorized to use that information. Now he was allowed to selfsurrender with his attorney so no big arrest case. He is due in court at 1 30 this afternoon. My colleague Marianne Favro is there in the throng of reporters and following up this story at 5 00 and 6 00. In the meantime, follow me on the social platforms. I put up a lot of information to follow. Kris nbc is my handle. Kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. Thank you very much. A lot of information coming in. Do want to make a correction. That is not the u. S. Attorney who we heard from, that is fbi special investigator who had comments on now these new charges that are being brought up. But as she mentioned there, this is handled in civil court already. This was. A little background. Levanowski is one of the smartest engineers in all of Silicon Valley and the reason google has selfdriving cars is in large part because of him and as kris alluded to he left google to create his own group called otto, o. T. T. O. And weve shown you video of the trucks and they are impressive. Here they are driving down the highway all by themselves. This is levanowski brian child. But the question is, are these trucks running on Google Technology . Well, uber sees this and uber buys otto and levanowski is smart and as it turns out allegedly all of googles knowledge goes with it so this creates the big civil suit that got settled in San Francisco court. Uber had to give a piece of itself over to alphabet, had to give shares to settle the civil side of this. Now we have this criminal case that were talking about. And this has gotten much more serious, particularly for anthony levanowski. And taking off in january so hes new to his position. Yes, that is anderson. So this is the u. S. Attorney that we were talking about. I think we have video of him as well. He takes office in january and here is this sudden case against a Silicon Valley engineer that is very serious. 33 counts, 14,000 files. Each count can run 10 years in prison. Were a long way away from a sentencing and indeed a guilty verdict as that. But watch out for david anderson. This gentleman, the u. S. Attorney, he is come to Silicon Valley, San Francisco and Northern California and there is a new sheriff in town. Hes rolling up his sleeves and doing some work. Yes, he is. And this is the first indictment of what i suspect will be several. I think people are going to pay more attention. We in Silicon Valley thought maybe were outside of the law a little bit of a cowboy and you heard the special agent in charge from the fbi. This is not the wild west. I any youre seeing Something Like this. And people jump from company to company and well there is so much of that here. Exactly. Thank you very much, scott. Well continue to follow this online as well. New at 11 00, an electrical fire in downtown San Francisco has shut down streets right now.

If you are going to go out for the rest of the day around dublin, look at how hot it is going to be. Temperatures reaching into the mid90s. 95 degrees during the middle of the day. When you combine that with more humidity, it is going to feel very uncomfortable. Here is a look the our microclimate and we go through our timeline throughout today at 2 0093 in danville. In napa 89. In oakland in the upper 70s. As we go ford 5 00, more people out getting ready for that evening commute. Almond valley at 92. At santa rosa 85 and San Francisco at 71. Were in the low 70s there but as make your way into the east bay valleys, were in the mid90s. So overall a wide range in temperatures but still really hot in some areas. And as you check out that sevenday forecast at the bottom of the screen, well see some more steady weather like this into the next couple of days. If you are going out to the giants game this evening, it is going to be in the lower 70s and then coming back down to the mid60s by the end of the game.

But were also drawing in some tropical moisture from the remnant of a weather system down there out in the pacific. Well as it brings in some higher humidity, were also going to see a few more clouds passing by but overall no major changes, just light cooling. And then once again the update on the Tropical Storm dorian, over the next few days, as it moves to the west we expect that pass over the Dominican Republic and puerto rico and continue toward the north and west and that may be an issue for florida heading toward the end of the week. So well continue to monitor that. Here were looking at our inland areas. Starting to cool off just a bit. But not seeing anything major here. Going into the weekend, some upper 80s and some of our warmer spots. But at least it wont be as humid as what were seeing today and tomorrow. By saturday and sunday were in the low 90s. More of the same early next week. San francisco continuing on with some 70s with a lot of sunshine. Just some fog rolling across the bay but overall looking at good weather here over the next several days and not going to see any big change. Marcus and laura, more wideranging temperatures.

Geico motorcycle. 15 minutes could save you 15 or more. Welcome back, everyone. We continue to watch breaking news. This is westbound 580 shut down after a crash. This is close to highway 24 where the lanes are blocked. I understand it started out with a chase out of Castro Valley but look at the traffic being diverted off the freeway now. It is a mess out there. Lets check in with mike. What is the latest . We still have all lanes closed. Theyre doing a measurement at the scene. We see chp and other vehicles including what looks like a para transit van so concern over the folks in the van. A lot of investigating to do with regard to details. Traffic wise, westbound 580 closed at the 24 interchange and traffic is being diverted on to 980 or avoiding the whole interchange and taking you on 24 past the scene. That will continue to be the case until they reopen lanes youre backed up to park boulevard which is a great alternate to get toward 880 and the nimitz moving toward the scene and back with chopper overhead and all lanes closed. A pursuit that started in Castro Valley and ends up on 580 at the 24 interchange. And a lot of activity and if this lasts much more than an hour this could be a problem as folks start to shuffle midday and this is not the commute direction in the afternoon but unfortunately there is no good direction for traffic flow. It is always heavy in that direction, westbound 580 heading toward 24 the bay bridge and the maze. So we continue to follow that and the investigation and of course your traffic impact.
