Self-driving cars, equipped with advanced technologies like sensors and cameras, have the potential to greatly reduce accidents caused by human error. However, concerns about their safety still persist. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)<\/a> has classified self-driving systems into six levels of driving automation, ranging from no automation (Level 0) to full automation (Level 5). In 2019, there were over 36,000 deaths on US roads, with an estimated 94% caused by human error. The global autonomous vehicle market was valued at $27.08 billion in 2020 and is projected to grow at a rate of 63.1% from 2021 to 2028.<\/p>\n

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have been involved in over 80 accidents in California alone, with 10 of those accidents causing injuries. While AVs have the potential to reduce fatalities, they still need to be driven millions of miles to accurately assess their safety. Waymo’s AVs drove 6.1 million miles in California in 2020, with a disengagement rate of 0.076 per 1,000 miles. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety believes that AVs could prevent up to 34% of fatal accidents. However, AVs have an accident rate of 9.1 per million miles driven, compared to 4.1 by human-driven cars. Nevertheless, AVs have a lower severity of accidents and Waymo reported only 47 accidents in over 20 million miles driven, none of which were caused by AVs themselves.<\/p>\n
