Following the accident, Uber said it had grounded its self-driving-car program in Arizona. But an Uber spokesperson told Business Insider that it actually suspended its programs in all three of the company's testing areas - Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Arizona - following the accident.

The spokesperson said Uber's self-driving-car tests will resume in San Francisco on Monday, but remain grounded in Arizona and Pittsburgh. However, the self-driving cars in San Francisco will no longer be picking up passengers.
