(Eric Risberg/AP)Attempting to dial back what a federal judge called “pretty convincing” early signs about claims that Uber stole self-driving-car technology from Google spinoff Waymo, Uber on Friday unleashed what it hoped was a killer retort. The 9.7 gigabits of data contain trade secrets, Waymo says. Uber attorney Arturo Gonzalez told the court that none of the documents were found on Uber’s servers. The judge also has said he plans to order Uber to allow experts to examine its lidar sensors to see how they measure up against Waymo’s technology. Waymo said it then discovered from documents submitted to Nevada regulatory authorities that Uber was developing its own lidar technology.
