Uber Technologies Inc has expanded its self-driving car programme to Tempe, Arizona, the second city where customers can test the ride-hailing company’s automated technology. 

Beginning Feb 21, riders who request an UberX in Tempe will be matched with a self-driving car if one is available, according to a company spokeswoman.
