The decision comes after a self-driving Uber SUV struck and killed a pedestrian in suburban Phoenix overnight Sunday. In January 2016, Ontario became the first Canadian province to allow on-road testing of autonomous vehicles.

Proposals also are pending in Congress, including one that would stop states from regulating autonomous vehicles, Smith said.
