坦佩是菲尼克斯的一個郊區，該市是優步正在測試自動駕駛技術的少數幾個北美城市之一；其他城市是舊金山、多倫多和匹茲堡。優步已在所有四個地點暫停自主駕駛的測試工作。
“Our hearts go out to the victim’s family,” Uber said. “We are fully co-operating with local authorities in their investigation of this incident.”
“我們向受害者家屬深表同情，”優步表示。“我們正與地方當局充分合作，協助他們調查這起事件。”
Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber’s chief executive, said in a Twitter post: “Some incredibly sad news out of Arizona. We’re thinking of the victim’s family as we work with local law enforcement to understand what happened.”
優步首席執行官達拉•霍斯勞沙希(Dara Khosrowshahi)在Twitter上表示：“亞利桑那州傳來令人極為悲痛的消息。在我們與當地執法部門合作以瞭解事情的前因後果之際，我們心繫受害者的家人。”
Bryant Walker Smith, assistant professor at the University of South Carolina’s law school, who writes regularly about autonomous driving, said: “This will test whether Uber has become a trustworthy company.”
南卡羅來納州大學(University of South Carolina)法學院助理教授、經常以自動駕駛為主題撰文的布萊恩特•沃克•史密斯(Bryant Walker Smith)表示：“這將考驗優步是否已成為一家值得信賴的公司。”
After a dispute with San Francisco in 2016, Uber moved its entire fleet of autonomous cars to Arizona, where it was enthusiastically welcomed by the state’s governor, Doug Ducey.
在2016年與舊金山發生糾紛後，優步將其整個自主駕駛汽車車隊轉移至亞利桑那州，受到該州州長道格•杜瑟(Doug Ducey)的熱烈歡迎。
“Arizona welcomes Uber self-driving cars with open arms and wide open roads,” Mr Ducey said in a statement at the time.
“亞利桑那州用敞開的雙臂和開闊的道路歡迎優步自動駕駛汽車，”杜瑟當時在一份聲明中表示。
The fatality in Arizona comes less than a month after California approved new rules that would allow truly driverless cars — without a human driver behind the wheel — to use its public roads.
亞利桑那州發生致命事故不到一個月之前，加利福尼亞州批准了新的規則，允許真正的無人駕駛汽車（方向盤後沒有人類駕駛員）使用該州的公共道路。
