Uber's Self-Driving Future Set To Be Decided In Court
Uber is set to learn if its self-driving program can continue as a judge is set to decide if the ride-sharing company stole tech Google's Waymo.
Uber will go before a judge today (May 3) to fight for the right to continue with its self-driving car program as it faces off against Google's Waymo division which claims the ride-sharing service stole its autonomous tech.
Waymo claims that the head of Uber's self-driving division and former Waymo executive Anthony Levandowski stole technical secrets from Waymo and later used them to build Uber's self-driving program.
If Waymo can prove to the judge that Levandowski conspired to take and use the stolen information, then the U.S. District Court Judge William Alsup in San Francisco will issue an injunction barring Uber from using any of the technology that Waymo said was stolen.
The fear is that if the judge issues a broadly worded order against Uber, it could shut down the app-based cab service autonomous division which in turn could make investors leave. Uber's current $68 billion valuation is mostly based on investors believing that it would be a dominant player in the emerging business of self-driving cars.
The judge is not expected to rule on Waymo's injunction request today but when he does, his verdict could very well decide the future of Uber.
