Uber has temporarily suspended the testing of its self-driving cars following the crash of one of them in Tempe, Ariz. The ride-hailing company had also been conducting experiments in Pittsburgh and San Francisco.
“There was a person behind the wheel [of the Uber car],” Tempe police information officer Josie Montenegro told Bloomberg. “It is uncertain at this time if they were controlling the vehicle at the time of the collision.” She added that the crash had apparently been caused by another vehicle’s failure to yield.
