PHOENIX — Emails between Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s staff and Uber executives shed new light on a cozy relationship between the first-term Republican and the company whose autonomous vehicle recently was involved in a fatal crash.Â
The previously unseen emails released by the governor’s office Wednesday were first reported by The Guardian newspaper.Â
They show that Ducey’s staff worked closely with the company as it began experimenting with autonomous vehicles that the company began testing on public roads in August 2016 without informing the public.Â
The governor’s spokesman says Ducey’s embrace of Uber and autonomous vehicles was one of his administration’s most visible and public initiatives and there was no secret testing.
A woman was killed March 18 by an Uber self-driving vehicle walking her bike across a darkened road outside Phoenix.
