Uber has temporarily suspended its self-driving program, but has not commented on what caused the crash. The company said in a statement on Wednesday night: “The video is disturbing and heartbreaking to watch, and our thoughts continue to be with Elaine’s loved ones. Our cars remain grounded, and we’re assisting local, state and federal authorities in any way we can.”

White said she did not believe the cars should be allowed to return: “This might be the first, but I’ll tell you what, there will be more.”
