WAYMO'S LATEST SAFETY NUMBERS SURE MAKE HUMAN DRIVERS LOOK BAD
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
Waymo reports 82% fewer injury-causing crashes than human drivers. The company has released data collected from over 270 million miles of fully autonomous driving. Waymo cars were involved in 95% fewer collisions that caused serious injury or worse, and there were 93% fewer pedestrian incidents that resulted in injuries compared to human drivers. While the company's data only measure the five metropolitan areas where it operated during the study period, it shows that the company's driverless robotaxis crash far less frequently than humans.
