On Sunday the 18th of March 2018, a Uber self driving SUV while in autonomous mode, killed a female pedestrian in Arizona, USA. There was a human driver in the SUV but because the SUV was fully autonomous, the human driver could not intervene.

The victim was a 49 year old lady which goes by the name Elaine Herzberg. She was walking her bicycle across a street in Tempe, Arizona., when the accident occurred

The Uber self driving  car which usually has a human driver for assistance upon testing of the SUV, happened to be a Volvo XC90.

The police are currently investigating the cause of the crash.

Uber has stopped all testing for its self driving vehicles in the US and Canada, due to the fatal loss of a pedestrian who was killed by the Uber self driving SUV.
