Arizona Governor Doug Ducey suspended Uber testing of self-driving cars after the March 18 accident near Phoenix. Ducey had always been very much in favor of experimenting with self-driving cars in Arizona and a few weeks ago he also gave the green light to the possibility of testing them on the road without a person behind the wheel for emergencies. Early investigations into the Phoenix incident, in which a woman was killed by an Uber self-driving car, showed that Uber's testing had more problems than claimed and that its cars weren't yet. completely safe. A video of the incident released by the police also showed that the person who was in the car and who was supposed to intervene in an emergency was distracted shortly before the accident (although it is unlikely that he could have avoided it). After the accident, Uber had already suspended all of its self-driving tests in the United States.
