Uber has confirmed that it's shutting down its self-driving car operation in Arizona – without waiting for the conclusion of the official investigation into the death of a pedestrian in the US state in March.

The taxi tech upstart employs about 500 people in Arizona working on self-driving cars and trucks. On Wednesday, staff got an email from their employer announcing it was wrapping up operations. Uber will still continue to run its standard lift-hailing service, but with meat sacks doing the driving.
