Arizona suspends Uber's self-driving car testing after fatality

Arizona governor Doug Ducey suspended Uber's self-driving vehicle testing on Monday following a pedestrian fatality in a Phoenix suburb last week. Ducey told Uber's chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi that video footage of the crash raised concerns about the company's ability to safely test its technology in Arizona. He said he expects public safety to be the top priority for those who operate self-driving cars. "The incident that took place on 18 March is an unquestionable failure to comply with this expectation," Ducey said. The move by the Republican governor marks a major step back from his embrace of self-driving vehicles.
