An Arizona prosecutor has determined that Uber is not criminally liable in a crash last year in which one of its self-driving SUV fatally struck a pedestrian in suburban Phoenix.

But it's not known whether prosecutors are considering charges against the driver in the March 18 crash in Tempe, which was the first fatality in the country involving a self-driving vehicle.Yavapai County Atty. Sheila Polk, whose office in central Arizona was asked to review the investigation, said in a letter released Tuesday that her office was returning the case back to prosecutors in metro Phoenix to determine whether to file criminal charges.
The driver, Rafaela Vasquez, told investigators that she didn't use her cellphone before the crash. But authorities had previously said records showed Vasquez was streaming the television show “The Voice” on her phone and was looking downward in the moments before the crash. Investigators had concluded the crash could have been avoided had Vasquez not been distracted.
