A U.S. judge on Tuesday said Uber "withheld evidence from me" and granted a request from Alphabet's Waymo self-driving car unit to delay a trade secrets trial that had been scheduled to begin next week. At a hearing in San Francisco federal court, U.S. District Judge William Alsup said it would be a "huge injustice" to force Waymo to go to trial now, given new evidence that has recently surfaced in the case.

Waymo, the self-driving car unit that spun out of Google last year, had asked the federal judge on Monday to postpone the Dec. 4 trade secrets trial against Uber. Waymo said it wanted to investigate whether Uber withheld important evidence in the case.
