Arizona’s governor, Doug Ducey, has gone out of his way to make Arizona friendly to autonomous vehicle (AV) companies. Documents turned up by The Guardian show that the governor had an exceptionally friendly relationship with one such company, Uber. It was an Uber AV, which struck and killed a pedestrian on the night of March 18—the first recorded fatality caused by an autonomous vehicle.
