Uber grounds self-driving cars after accident

Uber has grounded its fleet of self-driving cars pending an investigation into the crash of an Uber autonomous vehicle in Arizona, a spokesperson for the car-hailing service said Sunday. No one was seriously injured in the accident which occurred Friday in Tempe, Arizona while the vehicle - a Volvo SUV - was in self-driving mode, the company said.
"We are continuing to look into this incident and can confirm we had no backseat passengers in the vehicle," the Uber spokesperson said.
The accident occurred when the other vehicle "failed to yield" while making a left turn, Tempe police spokeswoman Josie Montenegros said.
"The vehicles collided causing the autonomous vehicle to roll onto it's side. There were no serious injuries," she said.
