Waymo's Autonomous Vehicles Are Safer Than Human Drivers: Report
Against newer vehicles equipped with ADAS features like automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance, Waymo showed an 86% reduction in property damage claims and a 90% reduction in bodily injury claims. Waymo, Alphabet, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) autonomous driving system subsidiary, released a new research report last week showing that Waymo's autonomous vehicles outperform human-driven vehicles in terms of safety.
Waymo，Alphabet公司（納斯達克：GOOG）（納斯達克：GOOGL）的自動駕駛系統子公司，上週發佈了一份新研究報告，顯示Waymo的自動駕駛車輛在安全性方面優於人類駕駛的車輛。
The Details: Waymo partnered with Swiss Re, a leading reinsurer, to analyze insurance industry third-party auto liability claims from 25.3 million miles of fully autonomous driving. The report showed a substantial safety improvement over its previous 3.8-million-mile study which "not only validates ADS safety at scale but also provides a new approach for ongoing ADS evaluation," the report stated.
詳情：Waymo與領先的再保險公司瑞士再保險公司合作，分析2530萬英里完全自動駕駛的保險行業第三方汽車責任索賠。報告顯示，與其之前380萬英里的研究相比，安全性有了顯著提升，"這不僅驗證了自動駕駛系統在規模上的安全性，也爲持續的自動駕駛系統評估提供了一種新的方法，"報告指出。
Waymo vehicles demonstrated an 88% reduction in property damage claims and a 92% reduction in bodily injury claims compared to human drivers. The report revealed only nine property damage claims and two bodily injury claims involving Waymo vehicles, while human drivers would have been expected to generate 78 and 26 such claims, respectively.
Waymo車輛的財產損失索賠減少了88%，人身傷害索賠減少了92%，與人類駕駛員相比。報告顯示，涉及Waymo車輛的財產損失索賠僅有九起，人身傷害索賠爲兩起，而人類駕駛員預計會產生78起和26起此類索賠。
Against newer vehicles equipped with ADAS features like automated emergency braking and lane-keeping assistance, Waymo showed an 86% reduction in property damage claims and a 90% reduction in bodily injury claims.
針對配備ADAS功能（如自動緊急制動和車道保持輔助）的新型車輛，Waymo顯示財產損失索賠減少了86%，人身傷害索賠減少了90%。
"Auto insurance claims data, traditionally used to assess human driver liability and risk, is a powerful tool in evaluating the safety performance of autonomous vehicles," said Mauricio Peña, chief safety officer at Waymo.
Waymo首席安全官Mauricio Peña表示："汽車保險索賠數據，傳統上用於評估人類駕駛員的責任和風險，是評估自動駕駛車輛安全性能的強大工具。"
"This is a truly groundbreaking study that not only validates the Waymo Driver's strong safety record, but also provides a scalable framework for ongoing assessment of the impact autonomous vehicles make on road safety," Peña added.
Peña補充道："這是一項真正開創性的研究，既驗證了Waymo Driver的強大安全記錄，也爲持續評估自動駕駛車輛對道路安全影響提供了可擴展的框架。"
Why It Matters: The safety of autonomous vehicles is under intense scrutiny as automakers push to advance the technology and regulators work to ensure new frameworks and ensure safety on the roadways.
爲什麼這很重要：隨着汽車製造商推進技術，監管機構致力於確保新的框架並確保道路安全，自動駕駛車輛的安全性正受到極大關注。
Waymo is involved in an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched in May 2024 due to concerns about the performance and safety of Waymo's self-driving vehicles. The company also recently announced plans to expand its robotaxi service to Tokyo and Miami in 2026.
Waymo正捲入2024年5月由國家公路交通安全管理局發起的調查，原因是對Waymo自動駕駛車輛的性能和安全性存在擔憂。該公司還最近宣佈計劃在2026年將機器人出租車服務擴展到東京和邁阿密。
Earlier this month, General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM) shuttered its autonomous vehicle unit, Cruise, following a serious accident in October 2023. GM said it intends to combine its majority-owned Cruise and GM technical teams into a single team working on advancing autonomous and assisted driving for personal vehicles rather than robotaxis.
本月早些時候，通用汽車公司（紐交所：GM）關閉了其自主駕駛汽車部門Cruise，此舉是在2023年10月發生了一起嚴重事故之後。通用汽車表示，計劃將其控股子公司Cruise與通用汽車技術團隊合併爲一個團隊，專注於推進個人車輛的自主駕駛和輔助駕駛，而不是機器人出租車。
