   A female pedestrian was reportedly killed after being struck by   
   an autonomous Uber vehicle in Arizona, according to ABC 15. In   
   response, Uber has pulled all of its self-driving cars from   
   public roads in the state as well as in the cities of San   
   Francisco, Toronto, and Pittsburgh.   
      
   The crash occurred near Mill Avenue and Curry Road early Monday   
   morning in Tempe, Arizona, the channel reports. The Uber vehicle   
   was reportedly headed northbound when a woman walking outside of   
   the crosswalk was struck. The woman was taken to the hospital   
   where she later died from her injuries. Early reports suggested   
   that she may have been a bicyclist, but that may not be the case.   
      
   “Our hearts go out to the victim’s family,” an Uber spokesperson   
   told The Verge. “We are fully cooperating with local authorities   
   in their investigation of this incident.”   
      
   Uber confirms that the vehicle was traveling in autonomous mode   
   with a safety driver behind the wheel during the crash. That   
   would make the pedestrian one of the first known victims of a   
   crash involving a self-driving car.   
      
   Update March 19th, 12:58PM ET: Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi   
   tweeted his condolences to the family of the victim.
