THE THIEF GOT AWAY BUT THE GUY
RIDING ON THE HOOD WAS NOT
HURT.
UBER'S DRIVERLESS VEHICLES
ARE ON THE ROAD AFTER AN
ACCIDENT IN ARIZONA FORCED THE
COMPANY TO TEMPORARILY SUSPEND
THE PROGRAM.
IT HAPPENED IN TEMPE
ARIZONA.
ELISE FINCH HAS THE STORY.
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE
LATEST CORPORATE SET BACK FOR
UBER AND ITS PILOT PROGRAM TO
LAUNCH A FLEET OF DRIVERLESS
CARS NATIONWIDE.
THE UBER CAR WAS IN SELF
DRIVING MODE DURING THE
COLLISION WITH TWO OPERATORS IN
THE FRONT SEAT AND NO ONE
RIDING IN THE BIKE.
UBER SAID THEY'RE PULLING
ALL SELF DRIVING VEHICLES OFF
THE ROAD.
DESPITE THE FACT THAT NORTHS IN
TEMPE SAY IT WAS THE HUMAN
DRIVEN VEHICLE'S FAULT.
UBER TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED
SELF-DRIVING PROGRAMS IN
CALIFORNIA, PENNSYLVANIA, AND
ARIZONA.
THIS MONTH UBER WAS REPORTEDLY
GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO RESUME
ITS CALIFORNIA PROGRAM AFTER
ONE OF ITS SELF DRIVING CARS
WAS CAUGHT RUNNING A RED LIGHT
IN DECEMBER.
THE COMPANY PAUSED OPERATIONS
OVER THE WEEKEND TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND WHAT HAPPENED BUT
FEELS CONFIDENT RETURNING THE
CARS TO THE ROAD.
THIS IS JUST THE LATEST IN A
SERIES OF HIGH PROFILE
CORPORATE SET BACKS.
THE CEO TRAVIS APOLOGIZED AFTER
A RANT TO AN UBER DRIVER WAS
CAUGHT ON VIDEO.
NOW A FORMER GIRLFRIEND SAYS
SHE WAS RECENTLY PRESSURED TO
LIE ABOUT GOING TO AN ESCORT
BAR IN SOUTH KOREA WITH FIVE
UBER EXECUTIVES IN 2014.
UBER SAYS THE COMPANY IS STILL
WAITING ON THE RESULT OF AN
INTERNAL INVESTIGATION INTO
WHETHER ONE OF ITS EXECUTIVES
ENGAGED IN SEXUAL HARASSMENT
WHILE OTHERS DID NOTHING ABOUT
IT.
THAT REPORT EXPECTED LATER THIS
MONTH.
ELISE FINCH, CBS 2 NEWS.
POLICE SAY THERE WERE NO
SERIOUS INJURIES IN THE CRASH.
