Uber Not Criminally Liable In Death Of Woman Hit By Self-Driving Car, Prosecutor Says

An Arizona prosecutor has determined that Uber is not criminally liable in the death of a Tempe woman who was struck by a self-driving test car last year. “After a very thorough review of all the evidence presented, this Office has determined that there is no basis for criminal liability for the Uber corporation arising from this matter,” the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office wrote in a letter to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Elaine Herzberg, 49, was walking a bicycle across the road at night when she was fatally struck by a Volvo SUV outfitted with an Uber self-driving system in March 2018.
