VIDEO: Uber Grounds Autonomous Fleet
Uber’s test fleet of autonomous cars is grounded for now while the vehicle-hailing company investigates a March 24 collision in Tempe, Ariz., that left a self-driving Volvo SUV sitting on its side, according to the Washington Post.
The accident occurred at about 6:25 p.m. on Friday, March 24, when another vehicle failed to yield while making a left turn. Nobody suffered serious injuries in the crash, Tempe Police reports indicated.
The driver in the other vehicle was cited for a moving violation, according to Associated Press reports. The Uber self-driving SUV wasn’t carrying any riders at the time. There were two operators in the front seat, and the car was in self-driving mode.
The suspension of Uber’s self-driving test fleet also affects vehicles in Pittsburgh and San Francisco. The cars in San Francisco, however, don’t pick up and drop off rider customers.
