> Alphabet’s venture capital arm, GV -- formerly known as Google Ventures -- is an early backer of Uber.

Correct me if I am wrong, but does that mean Alphabet is suing itself since Alphabet owns both Google Venture, Waymo and has an investment in Uber...?

Yeah, that's wrong, being an investor in a company doesn't make you liable for their actions.

It does mean that Alphabet stands to lose something if they win the lawsuit, though whatever stake they do have in Uber is obviously negligible compared to WayMo itself.
