Officials said an Arizona woman was killed after being struck by a self-driving Uber vehicle early Monday -- an incident believed to be the first of its kind.

Tempe Police Sgt. Ronald Elcock told FOX10 Phoenix was woman was walking outside of a crosswalk when she was struck by the self-driving vehicle.

The woman was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died, according to police.

The self-driving Uber was in autonomous mode at the time of the collison, and there was a vehicle operator behind the wheel at the time, Elcock told FOX10.

But there was already one a last year where a guy's self-driving car drove him into a piece of farm equipment on the road.

I assume they mean this is the first death of someone not actually in the car, which has entirely different legal ramifications.

It was a Tesla in autopilot, not a self driving car.

No. The fatality from last year was a (privately owned) Tesla.
