Car buyers who have been purchasing their cars from the same dealership for generations could see a different kind of for-sale sign the next time they visit.

Uber can not test self-driving cars on Arizona’s public roads anymore. The governor of the state has announced this decision after the fatal crash that killed a 49-year-old pedestrian. The decision to block Uber Technologies Inc.'s is a blow to the ride-hailing company, which sees its future success reliant on driverless vehicles, and trails competitors such as Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo in developing the technology.
