Arizona governor suspends Uber"s ability to test self-driving cars

The decision to block Uber Technologies Inc"s is a blow to the ride-hailing company, which sees its future success reliant on driverless vehicles, and trails competitors such as Alphabet Inc"s Waymo in developing the technology. Arizona had been a key hub for Uber, with about half of the company"s 200 self-driving cars and a staff of hundreds. Police and safety regulators are investigating the March 18 fatality in which a woman crossing a four-lane road at night was struck and killed by an Uber self-driving SUV.
