June trial set for drivers in fatal autonomous and deadly crashes.
The trial of Rafaela Vasquez, an Uber driver charged with negligent homicide in the first death involving a fully autonomous vehicle, has been rescheduled for June. Vasquez was involved in a crash in March 2018 that killed Elaine Herzberg, who was walking a bicycle outside the lines of a crosswalk in Tempe, Arizona. Vasquez's attorneys claim she was looking at a messaging activity used by Uber employees on a work cellphone that sat on her right knee, not streaming "The Voice" on her personal cellphone. Prosecutors declined to file criminal charges against Uber in Herzberg's death.
