Summary
New research reveals self-driving cars may be safer than humans behind the wheel, with autonomous vehicles involved in 68% fewer crashes per mile in cities like San Francisco and Phoenix. But the data’s messy—companies report every minor scrape, forcing researchers to filter out noise and focus only on serious incidents. While Waymo shares data, others don’t, making nationwide safety comparisons tough. Experts caution that crashes will still occur, and legal and insurance frameworks lag behind. With fragmented development, standardized, transparent tracking is urgently needed to maintain safety as these vehicles roll out more widely.
