FTA:

> It is not yet clear how Boston Dynamics will fit into Hyundai, which becomes the third owner of Boston Dynamics in seven years. It was acquired by Google in 2013 and sold to Softbank Group in 2017


yes, to softbank.


Yup, after Andy Rubin's sexual harassment allegations forced him to leave Google.


In order for Google to have sold it, there would have to be a buyer who then becomes the new owner. The new owner then owns the company and can, among other things, sell the company.
