After Uber has been blocked from testing its self-driving cars in Arizona, we thought it might go back to California, but it won’t. The company will not renew its permit to test self-driving vehicles in the state. The company suspended its public road testing in Arizona, California, Pittsburgh, and Toronto immediately after the crash. In a letter to Uber sent Tuesday, the California Department of Motor Vehicles said the company had not indicated it would renew its testing license when it expires March 31. In order to renew the license, Uber would have to address any...
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.

Just 200,000 plug-in electric cars were sold in the U.S. last year. Although that's the highest number yet, it's still just a little more than 1 percent of the market. Nowadays the general car-buying public at large is aware that EVs exist, but most of them consider that electric cars are not viable and practical. According to the recent data from California, the state's buyers are no more aware of electric vehicles than they were three years ago, when far fewer of them were available. This makes electric-car advocates worry that growing electric-car sales will arrive o...
