    No one was seriously injured. Uber says its vehicles have been grounded as it investigates.

    Police in Tempe say the self-driving SUV was obeying the law and the driver in the other car who didn’t yield was cited for a moving violation after the Friday night crash.

    An Uber statement Saturday says there were no passengers in the self-driving Volvo SUV at the time of the crash but there were two operators in the front.

    Police say the Uber rolled over onto its side as a result of the collision.
