The data coming out from an independent study of Waymo autonomous vehicles is, frankly, amazing. Swiss Re, one of the largest global insurance firms based out of Zürich, reports that 25.3 million fully autonomous miles drive by Waymo vehicles resulted in a 92% reduction in car crash injuries.
In plain English, Waymo self-driving tech is 12.5x safer than human drivers.
Let’s dig into what that means!
That depends on the market conventions I think.
From a few European countries that I vaguely know about car insurance pricing it just depends on drivers age and/or that persons past claim events.
But anyway, I wasn’t commenting on the contrary, just that a self-driving car (like that combo of hardware and software versions) should behave comparably in regards to the safety it can control.
Eg that a user couldn’t make a self-driving car drive in unsafe conditions.
