Uber Suspends Arizona Self-Driving Operations Months After Autonomous Car Struck, Killed Woman
Uber has decided to suspend its self-driving car program in Arizona two months after one of its autonomous vehicles struck and killed a female pedestrian. In an internal memo obtained by the Wall Street Journal Wednesday, Uber relayed its decision to halt its self-driving technology testing program in the state in light of the accident that took the life of a 49-year-old woman this past March. Uber stated that it still wants to push through with the program in Arizona, but it will focus on conducting a "top-to-bottom safety review" for now. It also maintained that the program will resume in the future. "We're committed to self-driving technology, and we look forward to returning to public roads in the near future," Uber said in the memo.
