uber is considering maybe asking david drummond to step off the board. there is a report today in the blog tech crunch that uber may be looking at starting its own autonomous vehicle lab in pittsburgh with folks from carnegie mellon. what we're seeing is the very earliest stages of a friendship turning a little bit sour. >> what was it, 258 million dollars, that is how much google has invested in uber since 2013? >> that was the first investment in 2013. then there was a follow-up investment in 2014. i don't think the exact amount was ever revealed. the great irony is that google has made an enormous return on its investment in uber, and can probably fund the development of this uber alternative with the proceeds of its investments in uber. i'm sure the folks at uber don't get a lot of satisfaction out of this statistic. it has been an enormously successful thing for uber ventures. perhaps it was difficult to see how in 2013 other companies would end up really intersecting in their strategic visions. it brings to mind the previous enmities between apple

colin drummond says this is one example of how the family stuck together. >> teenagers were doing their thing or whatever, you didn't find that with the hannigans, they were always together they were indeed together on their way home from a performance at the valley forge casino when their minivan was nearly torn in two by a ticup truck that was swerving around at a high rate of speed and the driver thomas muir of media who was not injured, smelled of alcohol and fail aid sobriety test. >> a terrible loss of life and a meaningless and reckless act. miles and charlotte were ejected from the vehicle and producenounced dead at the scene. their mother, maggie remains in intensive care. >> the fact that the hannigans were such decent people and so close makes this even more difficult to kproe head. >> i didn't sleep saturday your head is spinning it's cruel how things end like that. >> now muir remains behind bars on $75,000 bail and his preliminary hearing is scheduled for next tuesday and investigators are checking his phone records to see if he may have been texting at the time as well. w

i told you before harman pulled back in large because bears on wall street have drummond up fears that the core entertainment business could be under pressure. the company laid out those fears to rest if one fell swoochlt harman's organic sells grew by a staggering operating percent. increase a seen they are widening the lead by 210 basis point. much lieer than the numbers wall street was anticipating. they benefit from higher products and the overall increase in auto production. the bears have worried auto makers would push back on prices and keep up with the ever cheaper competition for smartphones. could it have happened? as i've explained before this is a false dichotomy. harman benefits as more and more cars can connect through your phone, it's their technology doing the connecting. meanwhile, harman's business was on fire. the organic is 31%. i find it hard to believe. it's incredible a monster in they have claire clarify. that their system for restoring sound quality for digitally pressed music. . it's all the music may downstrooen stream over the internet and neil young's revol

boeing with more pa's and cape 46 it's and northrop drummond competing for a new ship.ane has set aside over $2 billion for space for 2016 after zero the last couple of years. the u2 continues to live, but the a-10 dies, and they're proposing closing for bases. the last two will be tough for many members of congress to swallow, and, guys, given the continuing strategy stres put on personnel and resources, the pentagon is saying our military will not return to full readiness for at least five more years, and budgets over that time as proposed will total $150 billion above sequestration caps. >> you have a personal angle to this story too, don't you, that feeds into this? >> well, it's -- yes, if i -- half the military budget is for military pay and health benefits, and members are going to get a slight raise. like 1% this year. they're going to have to pay 4% more out of cost. in my own family what we see -- my husband is former navy. his very generous pension kicks in in five years. he has been counting on that. he has been promised it. our son is a second lieutenant in

$13 billion for new ships and replacing those old nuclear subs helping general dynamic northrop drummond and engles. the $535.5 billion baseline budget is almost $35 billion overspending caps. plus, another $50 billion on the side for finishing up in iraq and afghanistan. if congress does nothing to stop sequestration, there could be consequences for the national security. at a time when our military is stretched on a whole range of issues. >> however, a republican controlled congress may not necessarily be pro-defense at the expense of the budget and it may not want to balance the budget with custom military pay and benefits meaning it will be weapons programs at risk. though the navy really needs new subs. the air force seems committed to the f-35. the pentagon wants to retire. though the fleet of 18 warthogs, and, sue, some in congress love that program, and they may not want to cut it. basically everyone is down today except for general dynamics. >> thank you very much. this is a jobs week as you may know, and there is some tension in the oil patch as tensions fall. morgan brennan jo

google has taken pains to talk about the chinese wall between google ventures and google, but david drummond chief legal officer at google who is on uber's board. it's drawing a lot of comparisons to when eric schmidt was on apple's board until 2009. do you think there's a conflict of interest? >> well, if google truly is going after uber, yes there's a conflict of interest. as you pointed out, eric schmidt on apple's board, when apple was having having a smart phone and google about to have a smartphone, the long and short of it is silicon valley is a complex, interrelated place and there's not a lot of bright lines there and hard lines. >> but, guy, if you are uber particularly in this situation, don't you have to assume, based on history, and just self-preservation, that there could be some ill intent here? what do you do to protect yourself or would you just give google the benefit of the doubt and say, they're just doing it for their employees, don't worry about it? >> well, i mean obviously we're not privy to private conversations. they're probably having these conversations and i don'

students looking for a swrob in the defense industry and she set her sights on a job with northrop drummond> well they would be luck where i to have her. she sounds intelligent. are there certain industries other than defense that the university thinks might be the big employers of the fight for these graduates? >> well there's a lot of excitement for the use of drones in things like agriculture where they can do kind of what they call specific agriculture. essentially targeting spraying different pesticides. land management search and rescue. filmmaking, news gathering. tlaz whole host of industry. the faa right now is doing testing with to make sure the drones are integrated into the national a airspace safely. >> thanks mary. >> all right. tech and real estate. commercial rents are soaring in san francisco. just how much you're paying per square foot coming up next. plus, the big headlines you may have missed in this hour of power. we're back in two. they're still after me. get to the terminal across town. are all the green lights you? no. it's called grid iq. the 4:51 is leaving at 4:51

david drummond, the chief legal was on the board and we understand the same executive on the board had informed they might be looking at doing their own. we apparently understand that they had seen a screenshot of it already working and they are saying that google is developing the rates and they have their data. why not just make a sharing app? google has made no secret of their ambitions to get driverless cars and we could have them. it seems like they have a complicated relationship and they are more friend amienemies. >> they are doing research. where are we with this? >> a gets more kabul kid. we learn that they are asking to get rid of him and want him to resign. he is an employee who sits on the board. now the complication grows and they unveiled that they are analyzing the research and development into autonomous vehicles and they have launched a advanced technology center where they will do mapping into the occult safety and google is a great investor. they may have too much and the drivers use google maps and they are not entirely dependent on google. why will we need taxes?
