A recent analysis by Timothy B. Lee in Ars Technica examined data from Waymo, revealing that despite 60 serious crashes over 50 million driving hours, many were caused by human drivers colliding with the self-driving cars. Moreover, a study by Waymo and Swiss Re found that these vehicles had a lower rate of insurance claims for injuries and property damage compared to traditional human-driven cars, suggesting that self-driving vehicles might actually be safer on the road.
Waymo's vehicles reported 60 crashes serious enough to trigger an airbag over 50 million hours of driving, which highlights their relatively high safety record compared to human drivers.
A recent study found that Waymo's vehicles had fewer insurance claims for bodily injury and property damage compared to human-driven vehicles, indicating better safety.
