Uber Fires Levandowski

Uber Technologies Inc. said Tuesday it fired Anthony Levandowski, the driverless-car executive at the center of its legal battle with Google parent Alphabet Inc., making good on its threat to dismiss him if he didn’t cooperate with court orders.

Alphabet has accused Uber of conspiring with Mr. Levandowski to steal its trade secrets when Mr. Levandowski helped lead Alphabet’s driverless-car program.
