The ride hailing company shoots down claims it stole self-driving car technology from Google’s sister company.
Uber shot down Waymo’s claims it stole self-driving car technology.
On Thursday, Waymo, the autonomous car company owned by Google’s parent Alphabet, filed a lawsuit with bombshell allegations against Uber. The suit claimed the ride-hailing company had stolen trade secrets related to Waymo’s self-driving car technology.
A day later, Uber is calling the claim “baseless. ”
“We are incredibly proud of the progress that our team has made,” an Uber spokeswoman said Friday in a statement. “We have reviewed Waymo’s claims and determined them to be a baseless attempt to slow down a competitor and we look forward to vigorously defending against them in court.
