After a Tempe pedestrian was killed by a self-driving Uber last week, Gov. Doug Ducey informed the company that Arizona will no longer host its driverless car pilot program, calling video of the accident “disturbing.” The turnaround from Ducey, who previously welcomed autonomous car testing, could mark a shift against the technology, even in low-regulation states. Uber had already suspended the program and promised to cooperate with investigators. Meanwhile, rival Waymo is still testing its own self-driving cars and plans to launch autonomous ride-sharing in Phoenix this year.
