PRESCOTT, Ariz. — An Arizona prosecutor has determined that Uber is not criminally liable in a crash last year in which one of its self-driving SUVs fatally struck a pedestrian in suburban Phoenix. Elaine Herzberg, 49, was pushing a bicycle across a street in the darkness when the crash occurred. The driver, Rafaela Vasquez, told investigators that she didn’t use her cellphone before the crash. The company had suspended testing of its self-driving vehicles in Arizona, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto while regulators investigated the cause of the crash. Doug Ducey prohibited Uber from continuing its tests of self-driving cars after Herzberg was killed.
