Waymo's latest safety report covers 270M+ miles across 5 operating territories: compared with human drivers over the same areas, the Waymo Driver reduced injury crashes by 82% and serious-injury crashes by 95% — 841 fewer injury-causing crashes. ARK's Denny Maguire calls it a clear inflection point in operational safety, noting 40,000 annual US road deaths and arguing it's time to release robotaxis.
