Phoenix, AZ : Uber suspends self-driving car tests after Arizona crash on Monday, March 27th 2017

Self-driving cars, equipped with latest technology may have all the safety gear and features but at the end of the day they have to ply amidst human users and hence the ruckus. The latest high-impact crash in Tempe, Arizona involving one of Uber’s autonomous vehicles point towards a similar sounding case when Uber’s Volvo XC90 sport utility vehicle got hit because the driver of another car failed to yield.

In the wake of the incident, the cab aggregator has suspended the testing of its self-driving vehicles in Arizona, pending the results of the investigation of the accident.

According to the photos posted on Twitter, Uber’s grey self-driving Volvo SUV was lying on its side next to another severely damaged vehicle.
