SAN FRANCISCO: Alphabet on Thursday filed a lawsuit accusing Uber and its self-driving vehicle unit Otto of stealing technology from Waymo, a subsidiary of the Google parent company.
"Otto and Uber have taken Waymo´s intellectual property so that they could avoid incurring the risk, time and expense of independently developing their own technology," Waymo said in a San Francisco federal court filing.
The suit contends that a Waymo manager took technical data with him when he left to launch a competing venture that went on to become Otto.
