TEMPE, AZ : Driver in deadly Tempe Uber crash pleads guilty to endangerment on Friday, 28th July 2023

The backup Uber driver for a self-driving vehicle that killed a pedestrian in suburban Phoenix in 2018 pleaded guilty Friday to endangerment in the first fatal collision involving a fully autonomous car.

The crash happened in Tempe back in March 2018. Elaine Herzberg was struck and killed as she walked a bicycle outside the lines of a crosswalk.

Court records show Vasquez told investigators the victim came out of nowhere, and she didn't see Herzberg before the crash.
