For the next three weeks the autonomous vehicle industry will be in overdrive. Waymo and Uber, the two biggest leaders in self-driving car technology, are battling it out in court.。
The trial over driverless car trade secrets started Monday in San Francisco's U.S. District Court exposing some of the inner workings of the rival companies. Waymo, a spin-out company from Google's parents company, Alphabet, has to prove Uber took and used trade secrets for its self-driving car program, along with proving the trade secrets are actually that -- secret.。

As U.S. District Judge William Alsup said in court Tuesday, "Uber wanted to take the subway to the finish line" instead of running the entire race.。
Here's more of the details and background that brought the two giant tech companies to the courtroom.。
What's the deal with this lawsuit?
This is an epic battle over the technology for self-driving cars. Waymo sued Uber a year ago for stealing trade secrets, but the trial's just begun. The lawsuit centers around LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) laser and sensor technology and other information Waymo claims is secret. And to top it off, the Alphabet arm says Uber stole the information when the ride-hailing company hired a Waymo engineer, Anthony Levandowski, to get ahead without having to develop the tech themselves. 。
Uber's arguing these aren't trade secrets. Any engineer in the autonomous driving field could figure out the tech used to track self-driving vehicles' surroundings with lasers and sensors, Uber says.。
For Waymo to win this thing, it needs to prove the information was indeed secret and that Uber took it and used it to its advantage. 。

Thanks for signing up!。Former Waymo engineer Anthony Levandowski。
This whole trial mainly centers around the laser-tracking technology expert, but he pleaded the Fifth Amendment, so there won't be much coming out of him here. Uber eventually fired Levandowski in May after he refused to cooperate with its investigation.。

Levandowski's self-driving truck program that Uber acquired in August 2016 for $680 million. The timing of his start-up and its quick acquisition is being scrutinized with Levandowski leaving Google just a few months before starting his own company and then selling it right away to Uber. Don't forget about the $120 million bonus he got from Google before hitting the road.。
What's the timeline?
After jury selection last month, this week marked the start of the trial that will continue until the end of the month. 。
The trial began with opening statements from the two companies' head attorneys.。Meanwhile Levandowski is barred from working in the self-driving car business.。
