Waymo, Google's self-driving car company, has asked a judge to block Uber's work on autonomous vehicles, escalating the high-profile intellectual property dispute between the two technology companies and adding to the growing list of Uber's troubles.
In court filings on Friday, the self-driving car operation owned by Alphabet, Google's parent company, filed an injunction requesting that a judge prevent Uber from using technology that Waymo alleges was brazenly stolen.
