Hundred of thousands of BMW owners found out that their cars may have the same fault as the one that caused a death in a crash in 2016.

The affected models are BMW 1 Series, 3 Series, Z4 and X1 diesel and petrol models that were made between March 2007 and August 2011.

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.

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. Arizona had been a key hub for Uber, with about half of the company's 200 self-driving vehicles and a staff of hundreds. In a letter sent to Uber CEO Dara Khosro...
