Waymo Expands Autonomous Rides and Safety Data
News summary

Waymo, the autonomous vehicle division of Alphabet, reports a significant increase in automated rides, now reaching 100,000 rides weekly, up from 50,000 just a few months ago. The company has launched a new safety data hub, detailing its accident statistics over the past four years, which claims its driverless cars have 72% fewer injury-causing crashes compared to human drivers. With over 22.2 million rider-only miles driven across four cities, Waymo asserts that its vehicles are safer—reporting 84% fewer airbag deployment incidents and 76% fewer injury-related crashes. The push for increased transparency comes amidst regulatory scrutiny and aims to bolster public trust in autonomous technology. Waymo's data, which has undergone peer review, is seen as a potential benchmark for safety standards in the driverless vehicle industry. As the market for robotaxis expands, Waymo's proactive approach to safety reporting could influence public perception and regulatory frameworks.
