Uber’s driverless car program to be probed
Uber Technologies Inc., already affected by a sequence of scams, now faces the risk of a government criminal sensor/probe into its development of driver less vehicles, a crucial effort for the highflying ride-hailing business.
A new darkness of doubt was thrown over the autonomous-vehicle system when a government assess this week suggested the U.S. check out the probability that Uber and a top executive took from Google parent Alphabet Inc. 14,000 files, many related to a laser sensor technology used in driver less vehicles.

The judge late on Thursday momentarily obstructed a small part of Uber’s driver less car system, which Google alleges benefited from the thieved trade tricks.
The movement providing an incomplete injunction was enclosed. As a result, the opportunity and details of the injunction – and how significantly it would control Uber’s system – was uncertain. Alphabet’s driverless-car unit, which Search engines lately relabeled Waymo, had requested the judge to block much of Uber’s work on self-driving cars.
