Waymo, the robotaxi company owned by Alphabet , recently published a new study examining hundreds of crashes involving vulnerable road users.

Roughly 40,000 people in the US are killed each year in vehicle crashes.

The academic community has shown little interest in studying these types of injuries.

The goal was to shine a light on this underexamined area of traffic research.
