Uber autonomous car crash: A woman has died in Arizona after being struck overnight
The self-driving vehicle, operated by Uber, was in autonomous mode with a human safety driver at the wheel when it struck the woman, according to Tempe police.
In a statement, the force added: "The vehicle was traveling northbound ... when a female walking outside of the crosswalk crossed the road from west to east when she was struck by the Uber vehicle.”
Uber has since announced it has suspended its autonomous vehicle program across the US and Canada.
The woman, who has not yet been publicly identified, was struck overnight between Sunday and Monday in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe.
