"Google and Uber reached a peace agreement Friday, bringing an end to a lawsuit in which Google-owned Waymo claimed the ride-hailing service stole some of its self-driving car technology," reports Ethan Baron.

"Both companies issued statements confirming the settlement, in which Waymo said Uber would pay it $245 million," adds Baron "As part of the agreement, Uber said it will work to ensure that it won’t use Waymo technology."
