Waymo, Alphabet’s autonomous vehicle division, has demonstrated notable safety improvements in a recent study conducted in partnership with the reinsurer Swiss Re. The study analyzed liability claims from 25.3 million miles driven by Waymo’s driverless cars, revealing an 88% reduction in property damage claims and a 92% reduction in bodily injury claims compared to human-driven vehicles. The study also introduced a new metric comparing Waymo’s cars to newer vehicles equipped with advanced safety technology, still showing an 86% reduction in property damage claims and a 90% reduction in bodily injury claims. Despite these promising results, the study acknowledges limitations due to Waymo’s current city-only operations and relatively short real-world testing period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
