Uber to dispatch Waymo's robotaxis in Austin and Atlanta next year
Uber on Friday announced it will dispatch robotaxis built by driverless technology pioneer Waymo beginning next year in Austin, Texas, and Atlanta in a deal that deepens the bond between once-bitter rivals. The alliance expands upon a partnership the two companies forged in Phoenix last year, signaling they were ready to set aside their differences and work together following a bruising legal battle revolving around allegations that Uber had stolen Waymo's trade secrets. Uber's increasing reliance on Waymo's robotaxis to supplement the fleet of cars driven by people responding to requests sent on a mobile app comes just a few weeks after it announced plans to deploy driverless cars from General Motors' beleaguered Cruise subsidiary.

Google's antitrust defeat opens the door to lawsuit from Yelp
Google an illegal monopoly in a landmark ruling this month, it was not immediately clear what consequences the world's largest search engine provider would face. But one result is coming into focus: Google's antitrust defeat opened the door to more lawsuits. On Wednesday, Yelp, the popular online service that lets people find and review local businesses, sued Google in federal court in San Francisco. Yelp claims that Google used its dominance as a general, or all-purpose, search engine to gain an unfair advantage in local search services. Yelp is seeking unspecified monetary damages and an order for Google to stop its anticompetitive practices in a jury trial.
