Toyota Motor says it is suspending autonomous vehicle testing on US public roads in the wake of a fatal accident involving a test vehicle operated by the ride-hailing company Uber.

Toyota Research Institute, a Toyota US subsidiary, announced the suspension of its own tests.

Uber earlier decided to halt its self-driving tests on public roads in the US following the death of a pedestrian on Sunday in the state of Arizona.
