In the same cities where people drive, Waymo had 94% fewer crashes causing serious or fatal injuries and 82% fewer crashes serious enough to trigger airbags. Researcher Carol Flannagan of UMTRI says Waymo has driven enough miles to make a fair comparison to human drivers. Full details are at waymo.com/safety/impact.
