Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo says Uber Technologies Inc. is stonewalling -- and a judge said he agrees that the ride-hailing company’s explanation isn’t a “get out of jail free card.”

Lawyers for Waymo told a San Francisco federal judge Wednesday that Uber is violating an order to turn over files and documents that it says were stolen by engineer Anthony Levandowski. Levandowski left Waymo last year and is head of Uber’s driverless car project.
