Overview

• Waymo's study, published in the Traffic Injury Prevention Journal, analyzed 56.7 million miles of driverless operation across four major U.S. cities through January 2025.
• The research found a 92% reduction in pedestrian injuries and an 82% decline in cyclist and motorcyclist injuries compared to human drivers.
• Waymo vehicles recorded 96% fewer vehicle-to-vehicle crashes at intersections, a leading cause of road injuries in the U.S.
• Despite these safety gains, the study highlights the need for more miles to analyze rare but serious crash scenarios with statistical significance.
• Waymo remains the only company fully approved to offer paid driverless rides in California, continuing its geographic expansion and public transparency efforts.
