Uber Killer Car Banned in Arizona

After hitting a pedestrian crossing the road in the evening, the company Uber lost the right to test autonomous vehicles on the roads of Arizona. Recall that after the accident, the female pedestrian sustained severe injuries and died without regaining consciousness in the hospital.

Uber Killer Car Banned in Arizona

This was bound to happen – commented a CNN reporter from the local residents. People of the 21st century are not yet ready to operate a vehicle with artificial intelligence. The state governor of Arizona also contributed. The incident caused public concern, which demanded the immediate suspension of Uber and the revocation of its license to test autonomous vehicles on the state’s roads.
Footage from the dashcam “added fuel to the fire.” The video clearly shows that neither the car nor the tester took any action to save the pedestrian’s life and avoid the collision. Apparently, authorities will not rest until they sue Uber.
It remains to be hoped that other states in America will not issue licenses for testing killer cars in densely populated cities. Judging by the reviews from US residents, in a democratic country, the decision is driven by finances. And it is not surprising if Americans suddenly find an Uber autonomous vehicle seeking its next victim in the dark on the road.
