WAYMO says that it has uncovered new evidence that Uber Technologies Inc took and copied its trade secrets, and urged a judge to bar the head of the ride-hailing company's driverless car programme from continuing to work on the project.
Alphabet Inc's Waymo made the request on Friday as a federal judge weighs whether to issue a court order that may impede Uber in the race to market autonomous-driving vehicles. US District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco said last month that Waymo has a strong case that its former engineer, Anthony Levandowski, downloaded thousands of confidential files before he left the company to launch his own self-driving startup, Otto, that was acquired by Uber for US$680 million.
