3Waymo Safety Report On The Road to Fully Self-Driving
Self-driving vehicles hold the promise to improve road
safety and oer new mobility options to millions
of people. Whether they’re saving lives or helping
people run errands, commute to work, or drop kids o
at school, fully self-driving vehicles hold enormous
potential to transform people’s lives for the better.
Safety is at the core of Waymo’s mission — it’s why
we were founded over eight years ago as the Google
self-driving car project.
Every year, 1.2 million lives are lost to trac crashes around the world, and
in the U.S. the number of tragedies is growing. A common element of these
crashes is that 94% involve human error. Driving is not as safe or as easy as
it should be, while distracted driving is on the rise. We believe our technology
could save thousands of lives now lost to trac crashes every year.
Our commitment to safety is reflected in everything we do, from our company
culture to how we design and test our technology. In this, our first Safety
Report on Waymo’s fully self-driving technology, we detail Waymo’s work
on — and our commitment to — safety. This overview of our safety program
underscores the important lessons learned through the 3.5 million miles
Waymo’s vehicles have self-driven on public roads and through our billions
of miles of simulated driving.
We’re Building
a Safer Driver
for Everyone
