A woman was killed on sunday night in Tempe, Arizona, after she was hit by a self-driving car operated by Uber. It is the first known pedestrian death caused by a self-driving car.

The self-driving car was in autonomous mode when it struck the woman, who was walking outside of the crosswalk. Both the driver and the car failed to react in time to prevent the fatality.

Uber said on Twitter the company is fully cooperating with local authorities as the investigation occurs, and that it has stopped testing the self-driving vehicles in cities across the country.

Uber has been testing its autonomous vehicles for months. Automakers and tech companies are competing to be first with the technology.

Uber is not the only company that has experienced accidents with driverless cars. Companies like Google, Tesla and General Motors also join the list.

A Tesla Model S owner died in Florida in 2016 when his Tesla hit a white semi truck while driving in the semi-autonomous Autopilot mode. The vehicle failed to see the white truck against the bright sky.

Uber is testing more than self-driving cars. They have a fleet of self-driving semi-trucks in operation in Arizona for a couple months after its acquisition of the company Otto.

Rest in peace to the woman

Meanwhile has humanity become too lazy to drive
What's all these rush, craze and idea of self driving cars
I beg what will people be doing meanwhile their cars drive themselves
When the car companies still say that the driver's full attention must be there

Are you enjoying your smart phone? Really?

Not you oh, but it has made many people dumb.

Abacus is still used oh! Don't get it confused, development at the detriment of life and health is stupidity.
Now we are having reverse technology.
Would you ever accept technology that puts your life in its hand?
Imagine being treated by a robot?
Being driven by a robot?
Being taught by robots?

I beg oh

It's must happen.

Recently, a start-up in the USA claims their job is to preserve human brains. So, maybe you could die and let your brain be in a funny funky container where even your consciousness is preserved and continue to interact with people. hahahahahaha

I warned you guys, it's a step at a time.
