A self-driving Uber car struck and killed a pedestrian in Arizona, police said Monday.

This is believed to be the first such fatality of its kind.

The self-driving Uber car was in “autonomous” mode with an operator behind the wheel at the time of the collision.

Uber has temporarily paused all of its self-driving vehicles across the country following the incident in Tempe.

Fox News reported that Tempe Police Sgt. Ronald Elcock said the woman was walking “outside of a crosswalk” when she was hit.

She died after being taken to a nearby hospital, police said.

Here is a video of the self-driving Uber vehicles in San Francisco:
