For the past seven years, Waymo has been testing its autonomous cars on public roads and claimed they might actually be safer than cars driven by humans. Waymo’s first safety report compared 7m+ miles across Phoenix, LA, and San Francisco and found that, compared to human driving benchmarks, its autonomous vehicles were 6.7x less likely to be involved in a crash resulting in an injury and 2.3x less likely to be in a crash reported by police. Within those 7.13m miles, there were three total crashes resulting in injuries, all minor. For more info about Waymo's latest safety report, watch our video: https://youtu.be/OqhkkBLYfTs.
