優步方面表示並沒有竊取谷歌的自駕技術

Uber has said claims it used self-driving technology stolen from Google were "demonstrably false".

優步日前宣稱，該公司所使用的自駕技術絕不是從谷歌竊取來的。

Waymo - a company spun out of Google - filed a lawsuit in February claiming former employee Anthony Levandowski had stolen 14,000 documents relating to LiDAR, a core technology used to guide autonomous vehicles.

Waymo公司是從谷歌公司獨立出來的一家公司，該公司在二月份的時候提出法律訴訟，聲稱前職工安東尼·萊萬多斯基竊取了有關激光雷達的一萬四千份文件。這項科技是無人駕駛技術的核心。

Waymo requested a judge grant an injunction on the use of the disputed technology, which could take Uber's self-driving fleet - currently being tested in a few locations in the US - off the roads.

Waymo公司要求法官發佈強制令，來限制存在爭議的科技的使用。這將使優步的無人駕駛汽車不能上路。這些汽車最近剛在美國的幾個地方接受了測試。

At a hearing earlier last week, Uber sought to convince a judge that an injunction would be unfair.

在上週早些時候，優步試圖說服法官該強制令是不公平的。

"Waymo's injunction motion is a misfire," said Angela Padilla, a lawyer for Uber, said in a statement. There is no evidence that any of the 14,000 files in question ever touched Uber's servers, and Waymo's assertion that our multi-lens LiDAR is the same as their single-lens LiDAR is clearly false."

優步公司的律師安吉拉·帕迪拉在一則聲明中表示：“Waymo的限制令提議沒有奏效。沒有任何證據表明優步的服務器使用了存在爭議的一萬四千份文件。Waymo聲稱我們的多鏡頭激光雷達和他們單鏡頭激光雷達一模一樣，這是完全錯誤的。”

"If Waymo genuinely thought that Uber was using its secrets, it would not have waited more than five months to seek an injunction," Ms. Padilla added. "Waymo doesn't meet the high bar for an injunction, which would stifle our independent innovation - probably Waymo's goal in the first place."

帕迪拉女士補充說道：“如果Waymo真的認爲優步在使用他們的機密，在五個月之內就會尋求強制令。Waymo公司沒有達到強制令的門檻，強制令將扼殺我們獨立的創造力，也許這正是Waymo的第一個目標。”
