In February, Waymo, a subsidiary of Alphabet (Google's parent company), filed suit against Uber Technologies and some of its subsidiaries for stealing information related to autonomous vehicle development (The Atlantic). For more information on Waymo LLC v Uber Technologies, Inc. et all (3:2017cv00939), currently before Federal District Judge William Alsup, see: Waymo-Uber Complaint. Settlements reached that do not include an admission of liability will still resolve the question as "yes." Subsequent appeals will not affect the resolution. _{Confused?
