Weekly Brief: Waymo AV Data Key to Building Consumer Trust – TU Automotive

Waymo claimed last week that its autonomous vehicles are outperforming human drivers. In a report it compiled, between January 2019 and September 2020, the company's fleet of AVs logged 6.1 million miles in Phoenix, Arizona. Sixty-five thousand of those miles were without a safety driver behind the wheel. Waymo says that its fleet was not responsible for a single accident in that entire time. There were 18 minor accidents in which AVs were involved.
