Uber Technologies Inc. has suspended all of its self-driving vehicle testing, including a program in Toronto, after what is believed to be the first fatal pedestrian crash involving autonomous vehicles.

Uber’s testing was halted after police in a Phoenix suburb said one of its self-driving vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian overnight March 18.
