A self-driving car from Uber hit and killed a woman in Tempe, Arizona, on Sunday evening in what is likely the first pedestrian fatality involving the technology.
Uber is suspending its self-driving car program after one of its autonomous vehicles was involved in a high-impact crash in Tempe, Arizona. Another car failed to yield for the Uber car.
