Breaking: Uber and Waymo Settle Self-Driving Tech Lawsuit
A highly anticipated lawsuit only spent a few closely scrutinized days in court before competing self-driving car companies Uber and Waymo settled.
"Google and Uber reached a peace agreement Friday, bringing an end to a lawsuit in which Google-owned Waymo claimed the ride-hailing service stole some of its self-driving car technology," reports Ethan Baron.
"Both companies issued statements confirming the settlement, in which Waymo said Uber would pay it $245 million," adds Baron "As part of the agreement, Uber said it will work to ensure that it won’t use Waymo technology."
