Overview
- Researchers analyzed over 37,000 accidents involving both autonomous and human-driven vehicles.
- Level 4 AVs are significantly less likely to be involved in moderate or fatal accidents compared to human-driven vehicles.
- AVs performed better in straight driving and adverse weather conditions but underperformed in turns and at dawn or dusk.
- The study indicates a need for improved algorithms and sensors to address AVs' weaknesses.
- Experts call for more comprehensive data to enhance the safety and reliability of autonomous vehicles.
