This Waymo document presents safety data comparing the performance of the Waymo Driver autonomous system to human drivers in specific operational areas like Phoenix and San Francisco. It highlights how the Waymo Driver has demonstrated significantly lower crash rates for incidents resulting in airbag deployments, injuries, and police reports when measured in incidents per million miles. The text provides detailed methodology for these comparisons, acknowledging the challenges and limitations in making direct "apples-to-apples" comparisons due to differing data collection methods. Waymo aims for transparency by sharing this data and encouraging further safety research and collaboration within the autonomous driving industry.
