The data coming out from an independent study of Waymo autonomous vehicles is, frankly, amazing. Swiss Re, one of the largest global insurance firms based out of Zürich, reports that 25.3 million fully autonomous miles drive by Waymo vehicles resulted in a 92% reduction in car crash injuries.
In plain English, Waymo self-driving tech is 12.5x safer than human drivers.
Let’s dig into what that means!
Waymos are on city streets. Hardly “controlled conditions.”
City streets are very much controlled conditions in what they’re referring to. Kept clean, typically with decent signage and repainted lanes.
You should go for a drive in San Francisco someday. If they can nail fully autonomous driving there, that shit can probably damn near drive in India.
Have you been to SF? Decent signage and repainted lanes would not be a great description.
