There’s no doubt that in the future autonomous, or self-driving cars, will be seen rolling down the road. Full autonomy brings with it the better crash statistics and the freedom to become mobile for those who currently can’t drive. Waymo, a cutting-edge company for self-driving vehicles, has released a safety report. Let’s take a look at Waymo’s Safety Report.
This safety report walks through some current statistics on vehicle crashes. These statistics show that 94% of crashes involve human error which, contributes to the over 37,00 deaths from vehicle crashes per year. You can find a lot of information in these pages for how full autonomy works and how it can help reduce these statistics.
