WAYMO-UBER FIGHT FINALLY HEADS TO TRIAL

Lawyers for Google spin-off Waymo are depicting Uber as a conniving company that relied on stolen trade secrets to catch up in the race to build self-driving cars. Both sides seemed eager to finally lay out arguments after nearly a year of pretrial motions. Waymo says Uber hired a top Google autonomous car engineer, Anthony Levandowski, who promised to come on board with trade secrets.
