AP Photo/Jeff ChiuA months-long legal fight between Alphabet’s Waymo and Uber over the theft of Google trade secrets is moving to its next phase. The federal judge in the case imposed a strict deadline for depositions from Alphabet CEO Larry Page, ex-Uber CEO Travis Kalanick and many of the biggest names in self-driving car technology. Kalanick, who resigned this week from Uber, is to appear July 27, while Waymo CEO John Krafcik is due on August 2. Kalanick told him not to bring the material to Uber, and Levandowski later said he destroyed them. The judge also wants to hear from autonomous vehicle tech heavyweights, many who worked with Levandowski at Google.
