Waymo’s approach to building a safe Waymo Driver

Jul 27, 2023

With a record of nearly 43,000 deaths and 2.5 million injuries in the U.S. alone in 2021, we believe autonomous driving technology has the potential to save lives and improve mobility options for millions of people.

The data to-date indicates that the Waymo Driver is reducing traffic injuries and fatalities in the places where we operate, and we aim to continue safely designing and deploying our Driver to help more people in more places.
