Waymo released new safety data covering over 170 million fully autonomous miles. The analysis indicates that the Waymo Driver was involved in 92% fewer crashes causing serious or fatal injuries compared to human drivers under similar conditions. Furthermore, the Driver was involved in 83% fewer crashes where airbags deployed, underscoring its safety performance.
This data provides strong evidence of the Waymo Driver's safety superiority, which is critical for public acceptance and regulatory approval. Reduced serious injury and airbag-deploying incidents directly translate to fewer liabilities and insurance costs for Waymo, while also building trust with potential riders and communities, thereby accelerating market adoption and expansion.
