"Two `safety` drivers were in the front seats of the Uber car, which was in self-driving mode at the time of the crash, Uber said in an email, a standard requirement for its self-driving vehicles.
In February, Alphabet`s Waymo self-driving car unit sued Uber and its Otto autonomous trucking subsidiary, alleging theft of proprietary sensor technology.
The accident is not the first time a self-driving car has been involved in a collision.
Uber said the images appeared to be from the Tempe crash scene.
A self-driving vehicle operated by Alphabet Inc`s Google was involved in a crash last year in Mountain View, California, striking a bus while attempting to navigate around an obstacle.
