Waymo's 220 Million Autonomous Miles Show 94% Fewer Serious-Injury Crashes Than Human Drivers

Waymo's safety analysis covers over 220 million fully autonomous miles through March 2026. Compared to human drivers in the same areas, the Waymo Driver had 94% fewer crashes causing serious or fatal injuries and 82% fewer airbag-deployment crashes. UMTRI's Carol Flannagan says Waymo is now driving enough miles to make direct crash-rate comparisons to human drivers credible. Waymo publishes full methodology at waymo.com/safety/impact.
