Uber Suspends Self-Driving Car Program in 2 States
Uber says its self-driving cars remain suspended in Arizona and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, following a crash over the weekend.
There were no serious injuries reported in the incident in Tempe, Arizona on Friday night. Police said the self-driving Uber SUV was obeying the law while the human driver of the other car was cited for a moving violation.
