Uber Self Driving Car Kills Woman In Arizona

One of Uber's self driving car has killed a woman, while in autonomous mode, according to police in Tempe, Arizona. According to police reports, Uber's vehicle was in autonomous mode when the woman was killed on Sunday evening. Uber kicked off its self driving car program in Tempe in February of 2017, after the California DMV stripped Uber of its license to operate self-driving car permits. Those permits were stripped from Uber, after it became apparent that its self-driving vehicle were running red lights in testing in San Francisco. At that time, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey said that California was "puts the brakes on innovation and change". Uber moved all of its self driving cars to Tempe--where the woman was killed on Sunday--in protest over California's moves.
