Study Finds Self-Driving Cars Crash More Often, But Cause Far Fewer Injuries

A recent study reveals that self-driving cars are involved in more crashes than those driven by humans, with a rate of 9.1 crashes per million miles compared to human drivers' 4.1 crashes per million miles. Despite the higher frequency, these crashes tend to cause significantly fewer injuries and fatalities. This suggests that while autonomous technology is still developing, it shows promise in reducing severe accidents, pointing to a future where self-driving cars might enhance road safety overall.
