Uber is shutting down its self-driving car operations in Arizona, but plans to continue the development of autonomous cars in other states. “We’re committed to self-driving technology, and we look forward to returning to public roads in the near future. About 300 of the company’s employees will be terminated in Arizona as a result of the decision. The ride-hailing company suspended public road testing of its self-driving car prototypes nationwide in the wake of a March 18 incident in Tempe, in which one of its vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian, Elaine Herzberg, as she crossed a dark road. The company settled with Herzberg’s family for an undisclosed amount less than two weeks after her death.
