Waymo has made significant progress in commercializing autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, currently serving over 50,000 rides a week across San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles, with plans to expand to Austin. New data reveals that the Waymo Driver has driven over 14.8 million rider-only miles through the end of March, demonstrating superior safety performance compared to human drivers. The Waymo Driver is 3.5 times better at avoiding crashes that cause injuries and twice as good at avoiding police-reported crashes. The onboard software exhibits superhuman reaction times and decision-making capabilities at 35 mph, along with superhuman turn signaling, enhancing road safety.
This is the solution to the Trolley Problem: @Waymo’s onboard software has superhuman reaction times (this happened at 35 mph) and superhuman decision-making (knowing exactly how to swerve to not hit oncoming traffic or parked cars) Also, superhuman turn signaling https://t.co/s0obruHGEM

I am proud of our commitment to safety + record at @Waymo. We aren’t perfect, but our cars make roads safer, and are still improving. We drive ~a human lifetime every week on some of the most complex roads in the US, and we turn that data into the world’s most experienced driver. https://t.co/OIHiH4dfks
Empirical data from ~15M RO miles shows the @Waymo Driver is better at avoiding crashes than human drivers where we operate. Here is a recent example from San Francisco, showcasing our Driver’s safety capabilities. Proud of the work our team is doing to make roads safer. https://t.co/9KzEhp2GPf https://t.co/oHi2dDmaGx
New data shows that the Waymo Driver continues to make roads safer. Over 14.8M rider-only miles driven through the end of March, it was up to 3.5x better in avoiding crashes that cause injuries and 2x better in avoiding police-reported crashes than human drivers in SF & Phoenix. https://t.co/w6uUIAoe9t
Thoughtful write up from @alanohnsman about the journey to commercialize AV technology. We’re committed to scaling responsibly at @waymo and I’m proud of our progress, already serving more than 50k rides a week across San Francisco, Phoenix, and Los Angeles (and soon, Austin!) https://t.co/w1JzT2iFXr
