Uber-Waymo Dispute: Our Self-Driving Technology Different From Waymo's, Uber Says

Uber Technologies Inc said its self-driving technology was "fundamentally different" from Waymo's in a court filing, Friday. This comes after Waymo sued Uber in February, seeking a preliminary injunction to stop it from using trade secrets and other intellectual property. Uber, which has gone into damage control mode, presented a list of reasons to averse the possible injunction. According to a report filed in the Fortune, Uber made several arguments in its Friday's filing, which included: "To hinder Uber's continued progress in its independent development of an in-house LiDAR that is fundamentally different than Waymo's, when Uber has not used any of Waymo's trade secrets, would impede Uber's efforts to remain a viable business, stifle the talent and ingenuity that are the primary drivers of this emerging industry, and risk delaying the implementation of technology that could prevent car accidents. Ultimately, that would be harmful to the public," Uber said in its filing as Fortune reported.
