    Vasquez, who has been publicly silent for three and a half years, spoke with WIRED. “At first everybody was all on my side, even the chief of police. Now it's the opposite. It was literally, one day I'm fine and next day I'm the villain. It’s very—it's isolating.” 11/13

    A year after the crash Uber learned it wouldn't face criminal consequences. In 2020, Vasquez was indicted for negligent homicide. And that’s how Rafaela Vasquez—and only Rafaela Vazquez—was indicted for allegedly causing the first pedestrian death by a self-driving car. 10/13

    The police told Vasquez not to “beat yourself up about it”. But they, like the Uber reps at the scene, knew this wasn’t a normal collision; it was international news.And while Uber helped the police investigate,Vasquez became the face of the crash. 📸:Tempe Police Department 6/13

    By 2017, Arizona had become the lead site for Uber’s test program. The company pushed hundreds of millions of dollars into its self-driving unit. And over three years, it grew to more than 1,000 employees across five cities. Then the accident happened. 5/13
