Waymo robotaxis crashed 68% less often than human drivers in independent safety study
SMRTR summary
An independent Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study found Waymo's self-driving robotaxis crashed 68% less often than human drivers, recording 1.28 crashes per million miles versus 4.06 for humans across 50 million autonomous miles. However, the comparison has important caveats — Waymo avoids highways, operates mostly on slower city streets, and is legally required to report minor crashes that human drivers typically don't.
