Uber Technologies Inc may pay a price for withholding key evidence from Waymo when their trade secrets dispute goes to trial – the judge proposed letting the jury know the ride-hailing company’s lawyers didn’t “come clean.” 

“I’m inclined to let the jury know what happened here,” US District Judge William Alsup said Aug 16 at a hearing in San Francisco, speaking to one of Uber’s lead lawyers. “You misled the judge time and time again.”
