Hi, I'm Dara Kerr, Senior Reporter with CNET News, and I'm here in downtown San Francisco reporting on the Waymo versus Uber trial.
Today was day three and former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick stole the show.
His testimony kicked off With him talking about how Google was super unpumped about Uber starting a self-driving car program and that iPhone games are his thing.
He also talked about learning the phrase "second place is first loser" from his high school football coach.
After Travis Kalanick's testimony, we heard from Lior Ron who co-founded Otto with Anthony Levandowski This is a self driving truck start up that Uber then acquired.
Leo Irvan told us a juicy tidbit that Lyft was also looking to make a deal with Auto, but ultimately decided it wasn't into self driving trucks.
I'll be here tomorrow and you can read my stories on CNET.com.
