This is the exact reason why we need Nationwide disclosures of automous miles driven. California requires this stat, so it's data is the most telling.
California .92 deaths per 100 million (human)vehicle miles traveled. There were only 500k autonomous miles driven in California last year.
I'd bet your guess about death rate per mile is right considering waymo which has largest and most advanced fleet only drove 2 million miles nationwide last year.
- slg 9y agoDoes Tesla's autopilot count as autonomous? There has been one confirmed death in what is likely over half a billion miles of autopilot usage. That would seem to tip the rate back in favor of the autonomous cars over humans.
- cmac2992 9y agoAutopilot does not count. I'm assuming it's because it requires people to be actively engaged in the task of driving and it only works in very specific situations. Tesla reported 0 miles of autonomous driving in CA on public roads last year.

- vilhelm_s 9y agoI think Waymo is claiming 5 million miles in total, and Uber 2 million miles.
