As General Motors and Ford work to develop self-driving vehicles, their lawyers are busy battling over what they should be allowed to call the technology.

Late last month, GM filed a trademark infringement case to block Ford from using the name "BlueCruise" for its soon-to-be-released hands-free driving feature.
