There was a vehicle operator in the car at the time of the crash, but no passengers. The 49-year-old woman was taken to a local hospital, where she died of her injuries. This is the first reported pedestrian fatality due to a self-driving vehicle.

Uber has said it will cooperate with the police investigation and that it has paused its self-driving vehicle operations in Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Toronto.
