Fallout from the fatal collision involving an Uber self-driving vehicle and a pedestrian continues to course through the ride-hailing company and beyond. 
Among the latest developments: Uber has indicated that it will not attempt to renew its autonomous-testing permit in California, which expires at the end of this month, regulators said Tuesday. The company?s retreat from the state likely heads off scrutiny regarding the crash from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, which indicated it will seek analysis of the company?s operations before granting another permit.
Uber?s relationship with the California DMV was already strained, with the company having flouted requirements to obtain a testing permit in late 2016 and previously circumvented regulations that prohibited the testing of self-driving technology in trucks. It was the former that resulted in the standoff that sent much of Uber?s testing to Arizona in the first place. That testing resulted in a fatal crash in Tempe, Arizona, that killed pedestrian Elaine Herzberg earlier this month. Across North America, Uber?s self-driving testing has been placed on self-imposed hold in the wake of the incident. But earlier this week, Arizona?s governor indefinitely banned the company from testing on the state?s public roads. Combined with its imminent withdrawal from California, the company’s only remaining self-driving operations are in Pittsburgh and Toronto.
