Dear Mr. Khosrowshahi:

I am writing today in reference to the fatal pedestrian accident that took place on March 18, 2018. On
March 21, 2018, Tempe police released video leading up to the incident. I found the video to be
disturbing and alarming, and it raises many questions about the ability of Uber to continue testing in
Arizona.

AS governor, my top priority is public safety. Improving public safety has always been the emphasis of
Arizona?s approach to autonomous vehicle testing, and my expectation is that public safety is also the
top priority for all who operate this technology in the state of Arizona.

The incident that took place on March 18 is an unquestionable failure to comply with this expectation.
While the incident is currently under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board and the
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Arizona must take action now.

In the best interests of the people of my state, I have directed the Arizona Department of Transportation
to suspend Uber?s ability to test and operate autonomous vehicles on Arizona?s public roadways.

Arizona will not tolerate any less than an unequivocal commitment to public safety.

cerely,


Governo oug Ducey
