4.Uber and Waymo patent litigation will result: Or decide to drive the future automatically;
SAN FRANCISCO, February 5 morning news, according to the US "Wall Street Journal" Web site reported that technology companies are investing billions of dollars in the development of autonomous driving in the hope of saving lives, eliminating human drivers, and one day harvest wealth. But automatic The future of driving skills may depend on the outcome of a court ruling in San Francisco on Monday, the two technology companies Uber and Alphabet's Waymo.
Over the years, the two Silicon Valley tech giants have been vying with the court for a technology leak case that litigated by Waymo and taken up by the Northern District of California, charging Uber for about $ 680 million in 2016 for the acquisition of autopilot truck company Otto , The latter founder Anthony Lewandowski involved in Google as an engineer, suspected of stealing the old club driverless car design secrets.
Uber denied the allegations, but court documents showed that Uber knew Lewandowski's sensitive Google documents before Otto was acquired, but the San Francisco-based startup said it is using its own technology to automate In May last year, the company fired Lewandowski, in part because he was unwilling to cooperate with Uber's internal investigation, and his lawyer did not respond to a reporter's request for comment.
A spokesman said Waymo has "accumulated a host of compelling evidence of Uber's theft and use of Waymo's trade secrets." But Uber spokesman said he is confident of winning the lawsuit, and the foreign media have not yet received the criticality of the case news.
Waymo's appeal was to issue a paper ban to prevent Uber from further developing driverless vehicle technology, which could cost billions of dollars in damages, and if Waymo wins, the ruling could either directly defeat a competitor because The company is focusing on building its own car rental network in the next few years.
For Uber, research and development of autonomous vehicles are the only way to increase efficiency and increase profits, and if the verdict is good for Uber, it means the company has won a major moral victory and the autonomous research and development of autonomous vehicles will continue.
The lawsuit, which involves billions of dollars and the future of personal mobility, is expected to become the litmus test of intellectual property law.
'The bets are too high,' said John Marsh, a lawyer specializing in trade secrets at Bailey Cavalieri LLC 'The two companies would have to think very carefully about how they got litigated and when they bought it And what kind of company to acquire, and the pros and cons of the acquired company's employees. '
Waymo's allegations revolve around Lidar technology, or light detection and ranging systems, the technology Uber must use to develop autonomous vehicles. Waymo claims that Levos'sky claimed about 14,000 before joining Google Sensitive documents downloaded to their own personal computers, endangering the eight patents.
Judge Althop suspected that the lawyer Waymo could not prove that Uber was involved in the theft of Google's trade secrets and improperly used it in the development of Lidar.This could mean that Waymo must have a jury to understand the software code and Sensor technical details. Outsiders believe that Waymo allegations are too complicated, proof is an impossible mission.
Late last year, there was a surprising turnaround in the case when a former Uber security official publicly posted a 37-page letter stating that a secretive organization exists inside the company to steal trade secrets and help employees avoid Uber Tested in Court, Uber Arrested in Court, claiming the letter came from an extortionist seeking to extract millions of dollars from Uber, many of which are false allegations, the judge said last month, unless the man Former executives are willing to testify in court, otherwise most of the letter will not be taken from the letter.
Lewandowski said he would apply the Fifth Amendment right to protect himself from charges of self-incrimination, though he is not a nominee for the case and other celebrities who may appear in court include former Uber CEO Special Ravis Carranick, Google founder Larry Page and benchmark venture capitalist Bill Gurley, who served as Uber's director.
Whatever the outcome, Uber's future will be troublesome: After Judge Arsupp recommended a criminal investigation into Uber, the U.S. Department of Justice may decide to file a complaint against the company, which declined to comment.
