Waymo-Uber judge says may grant injunction if key witness doesn't testify


Waymo is seeking a preliminary injunction from the court, which would temporarily stop Uber.

SAN FRANCISCO: The US judge overseeing a blockbuster case over self-driving car technology suggested Uber could face an injunction if a key Uber executive does not testify for fear of exposing himself to criminal prosecution, according to a transcript seen by Reuters.

Waymo, the self-driving car unit of Alphabet Inc, sued ride services company Uber Technologies Inc last month, alleging that a former Waymo executive, Anthony Levandowski, downloaded over 14,000 confidential documents before leaving the company to subsequently join Uber. Waymo said Uber benefited from those documents.
