Chipmaker Nvidia Corp said on March 27 it has suspended self-driving tests across the globe, a week after an Uber Technologies Inc autonomous vehicle struck and killed a woman crossing a street in Arizona.

Uber is one of Nvidia's partners and uses some of its self-driving technology. Nvidia's shares closed down 7.8% at US$225.52 (RM870.06), wiping out more than US$11bil (RM42.43bil) in market value.
