Swiss Re, a top reinsurer globally, has analyzed a lot of data, and it has determined that Waymo’s robotaxis are safer than human drivers, and even safer than human drivers of new cars with the latest advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Swiss Re has more than 500,000 liability claims and more than 200 billion miles of exposure in its data bank. Waymo has logged 25.3 million fully autonomous miles available for analysis as well. These are the big top-line results:

• Waymo Driver provided an 88% reduction in property damage claims.
• Waymo Driver provided a 92% reduction in bodily injury claims.

Here’s another way of looking at the difference:

• Waymo Driver was involved in 9 property damage claims and 2 bodily injury claims across those 25.3 million miles.
• The total expected for human drivers across 25.3 million miles would be 78 property damage and 26 bodily injury claims!
