EXCEPT for the numerous instances of self-driving cars running into emergency vehicles, road barriers, construction zones, police and fire vehicles or barricades.
Yeah, right, And there is a claim these self-drivers are somehow “safer”? This appears to be a completely Bovine Excrement (BS) claim!
An analysis of accidents per 1,000,000 of self-driving vehicles versus accidents per 1,000,000 driver-controlled vehicles or a similar analysis of accidents per 1,000,000 miles of self-driving versus human-driven vehicles would likely reveal more relevant data than mere conjecture.
This analysis has been done! And reveals:
The National Law Review reported that
for every 1 million miles driven, there are 9.1 self-driving car crashes. In comparison, conventional
human-driven vehicles have a crash rate of 4.1 per million miles driven.A study published by the peer-reviewed journal Transportation Research Procedia found that accidents involving autonomous vehicles were mostly rear-end collisions, while conventional vehicles were involved in more pedestrian and broadside accidents.
The statistics for autonomous vehicle crashes broke down as follows:
Rear-end accidents – 64.2%
Side-swipe accidents – 20.8%
Broadside accidents – 5.7%
Collisions with an object – 3.8%
Pedestrian accidents – 0%
“Other” accidents – 5.7%
In comparison, conventional vehicle crashes broke down as follows:
Rear-end accidents – 28.3%
Side-swipe accidents – 17.5%
Broadside accidents – 25.8%
Collisions with an object – 4.6%
Pedestrian accidents – 16.3%
“Other” accidents – 7.5%

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), self-driving cars resulted in at least 11 deaths in a four month period in 2022 across the US.
Approximately 9.1 driverless car crashes occur per million miles driven. Sep 12, 2023
