Waymo released safety data for their autonomous vehicles, and the numbers are pretty damn impressive. Having seen them in action this summer, they do some amazing things. They're coming to Philly next year, and I think this is a trend that is going to permanently change transportation.
The data to date indicates the Waymo Driver is already making roads safer in the places where we currently operate.
Specifically, the data below demonstrates that the Waymo Driver is better than humans at avoiding crashes that result in injuries â both of any severity and specifically serious ones â as well as those that lead to airbag deployments.
This hub compares the Waymo Driverâs Rider-Only (RO) crash rates to human crash benchmarks for surface streets. It leverages best practices in safety impact analysis and builds upon dozens of Waymoâs safety publications, providing an unprecedented level of transparency within the autonomous driving industry. By sharing our data and methodologies, we also invite you to join us as we push for advancements in measuring safety impact.
