Uber got in a fight with California, so it's moving its self-driving cars to this state
After a week fraught with controversy, Uber is relocating its current self-driving car pilot program from bustling San Francisco to the more relaxing environs of Arizona. An Uber spokesperson told Mashable in a statement, "Our cars departed for Arizona this morning by truck. We'll be expanding our self-driving pilot there in the next few weeks, and we're excited to have the support of Governor [Doug] Ducey." SEE ALSO: Uber's self-driving experiment in San Francisco is over, for now The announcement follows Wednesday's news that the State of California's Department of Motor Vehicles had revoked Uber's registration of the autonomous automobiles, forcing Uber to pull the cars off roads. Photos shared by the company show the cars being hauled off by a large OTTO freight truck, the Uber-owned company that successfully completed a 120-mile beer run in Colorado earlier this fall.
