Uber lawsuit: Larry Page told to answer questions

Alphabet Chief Executive Officer Larry Page was ordered to submit to questioning by Uber Technologies in his company’s lawsuit over trade secrets for self-driving car technology.
 

Uber’s lawyers want to question Page in their defence against the allegations the ride-hailing company stole technology central to the development of autonomous vehicles by Alphabet’s Waymo unit. Waymo argued the deposition of Page was unnecessary and intrusive, but a San Francisco federal magistrate judge said Friday he can be questioned for as long as four hours.

“Larry Page has first-hand non-repetitive knowledge of relevant facts,” US Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley wrote.
