Is Waymo’s Robotaxi Safe? More Than 210 Crashes Last Year

Waymo reported 219 crashes in Los Angeles County last year, up from 69 in 2024, and 186 so far this year; most resulted in no apparent injuries, and the company says its crash rate per mile has continued to fall. Experts caution that current data are not enough to determine whether robotaxis are safer than human drivers, since they operate in limited conditions and use different technologies.
