Uber's self-driving car hits and kills a woman in Tempe, Ariz., who was crossing street outside of a crosswalk, at around 10 p.m. on Sunday.
Company's spokeswoman Sarah Abboud said they are cooperating with the investigating authorities and meanwhile ha suspended testing of the self-driving vehicle in Tempe, San Francisco, Toronto and Pittsburgh.
Self-driving car testings are underway with a human behind the wheel, but the fatal crash may raise questions about regulations as states are gearing up to start tests without a human driver inside.
California lately said to start allowing test without human from April this year.
However, Arizona has already allowed testing of driverless car without human behind the wheel and late last year Waymo started picking and dropping off passengers abiding the new notion.
Waymo is the self-driving car unit of Alphabet, parent company of search engine giant Google.
It is being said autonomous cars would be safer than human drivers due to its non-distraction nature and abiding traffic laws.
About a year ago another driverless car of Uber crashed in Tempe, hitting a Volvo XC90 sport utility vehicles of the company.
