In one of his last major acts as president, Donald Trump announced on Tuesday he was granting a full pardon to Anthony Levandowski, the engineer who was sentenced to 18 months in prison for stealing Google trade secrets.

In 2009, Levandowski had a key role in Google's self-driving project Chauffeur, now known as Waymo. In 2016, he started the self-driving trucking company Otto, which was acquired by Uber that same year. He was made head of Uber's self-driving division.
