The Latest: Ex-Uber CEO saw Google founder as a 'brother'


The Latest on the court fight between Google spin Waymo and ride-hailing service Uber (all times local):10:15 a.m.Former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick says he regarded Google co-founder Larry Page as a "big brother" before the relationship between their two companies soured. Kalanick spoke Wednesday during testimony in a trial pitting Uber's ride-hailing service against Google's self-driving car spinoff, Waymo. When Google made a large investment in Uber in 2013, Kalanick said it seemed likely Uber would deploy Google's robotic cars in its ride-hailing service. But it later became apparent to Kalanick that Google intended to launch its own ride-hailing service. Kalanick says that threat led Uber to buy a startup founded by a former Google engineer in 2016.
