Toyota halts autonomous car test program after Uber accident

Toyota will suspend tests for self-driving vehicles after a pedestrian was struck and killed during a March 18 test drive for an Uber autonomous car, according to The New York Times.

Toyota tests self-driving cars, with safety drivers and engineers in the vehicles, in San Francisco and Ann Arbor, Mich.

"We've told our drivers to take a couple of days off so we can assess the situation," said Rick Bourgoise, a Toyota spokesperson, according to The New York Times.
