New Safety Data Suggests Autonomous Vehicles are Closing the Gap. In a recent study, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has made a groundbreaking claim that Waymo's self-driving technology is 2/3 safer than a human driver on the road. This finding could be a major milestone in the development of autonomous vehicles, which have faced concerns over their safety and reliability. However, the IIHS also notes that these results come with some caveats, highlighting the need for continued testing and improvement before autonomous vehicles can be widely adopted.
