Waymo says its Waymo Driver service demonstrates better safety performance metrics than human drivers.

The study compared insurance liability claims against Waymo to those brought against human drivers, based on data from over 500,000 claims and over 200 billion miles of exposure.

In real numbers, across 25.3 million miles , the service was involved in just nine property damage claims and two bodily injury claims.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk appears to have convinced the incoming Trump administration to loosen regulations around self-driving vehicles, including reporting of crashes.
