Officials said an Arizona woman was killed after being struck by a
self-driving Uber vehicle early Monday -- an incident believed to be the
first of its kind.

The accident in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe caused the company to
suspend all testing of self-driving vehicles in cities across the
country.

Tempe Police Sgt. Ronald Elcock told FOX10 Phoenix the woman was walking
outside of a crosswalk when she was struck by the vehicle.

This is what happens when companies try to push technology thats not
ready
simply to boost their share price. But then only idiots believed the
BS about
it being what drivers want anyway.



Typical cyclist, walks her bicycle in front of a car and people say it
was the car's fault.


For once I agree with you.
That was a damn' stupid place for the bicyclist to jaywalk across the road.
