Get the Facts: Safety
Safer, smarter, and more sustainable. Here’s how AV’s can make roads safer for everyone on them:
Eliminate distracted driving
Autonomous vehicles offer a future without distracted driving, increased ability to navigate hazards like fog and rain, and a transportation option that keeps riders safe on the road and within the vehicle.
Strict safety standards
AVs are required to meet strict safety standards. All AVs are subject to expansive oversight from state and federal regulators, in order to operate, and remain, on our roads - prioritizing safety every step of the way. Embracing AV technology can greatly reduce human-error-related crashes, the primary cause of serious crashes.
Rigorous testing
Responsible development of AV technology involves rigorous testing before being introduced to the roads, helping to ensure that they reduce human-error-related crashes, the primary cause of road tragedies in the United States.
Major reduction in injuries and claims
Insurance firm, Swiss Re, analyzed over 600,000 liability claims involving both human driven cars and AV industry leader, Waymo. The results showed that in comparison, driverless vehicles completely eliminated bodily injury claims and reduced the frequency of property damage claims by 76%.
