An Uber driver involved in the first death connected to a fully autonomous vehicle faces a June trial
FILE- This March 18, 2018, file photo from video from a mounted camera provided by the Tempe Police Department shows an interior view moments before an Uber SUV fatally struck a woman in Tempe, Ariz., in what was the first death involving a fully autonomous vehicle. Rafaela Vasquez, the backup Uber driver in the vehicle in question, has pleaded not guilty to a negligent homicide charge in the 2018 crash that killed 49-year-old Elaine Herzberg.
Vasquez, who has pleaded not guilty to the charge, told police Herzberg “came out of nowhere” and that she didn’t see her prior to the collision. Prosecutors declined to file criminal charges against Uber in Herzberg’s death after the National Transportation Safety Board concluded that the main cause of the crash was Vasquez’s failure to monitor the road.
