Key findings show the Waymo Driver had 92% fewer serious injury or worse crashes, 83% fewer airbag deployment crashes, and 82% fewer injury-causing crashes compared to human benchmarks. Data also shows 92% fewer pedestrian injury crashes and 85% fewer cyclist injury crashes. The methodology follows peer-reviewed best practices (RAVE checklist), uses NHTSA Standing General Order reporting, applies underreporting corrections for human data, and employs spatial dynamic benchmark adjustments to account for driving distribution differences. Raw data is publicly available for independent verification. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
