A driver in Arizona did not yield when Uber’s autonomous SUV had the right of way, resulting in an accident that ended with the self-driving Volvo XC90 tipped over on its side.
Although Uber isn’t at fault and there were no serious injuries, the company has suspended its testing while it “looks into the incident”. There are questions being asked about whether a human driver may have been able to react in time to prevent the accident.
Volvo is a strong advocate of autonomous technology and the company aims to make Volvos so safe that they cause zero road deaths.
