Uber's self-driving cars are back on San Francisco's streets in full autonomous mode after a two-year hiatus. The move comes after one of the company's cars was involved in a fatal accident, the first known pedestrian death caused by a vehicle in autonomous mode, in Arizona in 2018.
Uber said the return of its self-driving cars to San Francisco, which begins Tuesday, is going to be limited and done with caution.
"Our testing area will be limited in scope to start," an Uber spokeswoman said. "But we look forward to scaling up our efforts in the months ahead and learning from the difficult but informative road conditions that the Bay Area has to offer."
