California’s Dept. of Motor Vehicles says Uber Technologies Inc. has decided not to renew its permit to test autonomous vehicle technology on the state’s public roads.
Uber’s testing license will expire on March 31. The company could still renew, but the DMV says the ride-hailing service would have to address investigations under way about last week’s crash in Arizona, in which an Uber test vehicle in autonomous mode killed a pedestrian, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The crash prompted Uber to suspend all tests on public roads in Arizona, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto. It was the second time in 12 months that Uber halted tests in Tempe. Almost exactly a year ago, one of the company’s test cars was turned on its side when a human-driven car failed to yield and crashed into it.
