Waymo released data showing its self-driving cars have 82% fewer injury-causing crashes than human drivers across 271 million miles of autonomous driving. The company also reported 95% fewer serious injury crashes and similar reductions for pedestrian, cyclist, and motorcyclist incidents.
- Waymo's crash rate is 0.67 incidents per million miles in areas where it operates, compared to 3.77 IPMM for human drivers in the same regions—a significant gap even in San Francisco where human crash rates are highest at 6.64 IPMM.
- For serious injury crashes, Waymo's advantage is even starker: 95% fewer collisions causing serious injury or worse, representing roughly a 20-fold improvement over human drivers.
- An independent IIHS study corroborates Waymo's findings, though the company's data is limited to five metropolitan areas where it currently operates, not nationwide conditions including snow and varied road infrastructure.
