Uber will not be held criminally liable in the crash that killed a pedestrian in Arizona
An Uber Volvo self-driving sport-utility vehicle sits on the road after a high-impact crash in Tempe, Arizona, U.S., on Friday, March 24, 2018. Prosecutors have decided not to charge Uber with a crime for a fatal accident nearly a year after one of its autonomous vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian in Tempe, Arizona.
A woman identified as Rafaela Vasquez was sitting in the driver’s seat and functioning as an Uber safety driver, but she failed to take control and stop the vehicle before the impact. The fatality, which was widely reported to be the first involving a self-driving vehicle, has slowed public deployment of autonomous cars and presented a tangible example of the ethical and legal challenges the new technology faces.
