A self-driving Uber hit and killed a woman in Arizona Sunday night in what appears to be the first fatal accident involving an autonomous vehicle, according to reports.
Uber said, as a result, it’s suspending tests of its self-driving cars in Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Toronto and the greater Phoenix area, Bloomberg reportedMonday.
The woman was walking outside of the crosswalk when she was struck in Tempe around 10 p.m. Sunday, police said in a statement.
The pedestrian, who was not identified pending family notification, was crossing the road from west to east and was struck by the Uber, which was traveling northbound.
