Replaying real life: how the Waymo Driver avoids fatal human crashes
You can read the California DMV&#x27;s set of autonomous vehicle accident reports.[1] Almost all the Waymo reports are &quot;vehicle was entering intersection, detected cross traffic, stopped, was rear-ended by human driver&quot;. There&#x27;s one Waymo report where someone ran a stop sign and hit them.<p>The rear-ending problem will be solved as automatic emergency braking becomes standard on cars. Already, it&#x27;s shipping on almost all high-end cars and 70-80% of midrange cars. There&#x27;s a US auto industry goal of it being standard by 2022. That&#x27;s probably the main feature needed for self-driving cars to coexist with human-driven cars.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dmv.ca.gov&#x2F;portal&#x2F;vehicle-industry-services&#x2F;autonomous-vehicles&#x2F;autonomous-vehicle-collision-reports&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dmv.ca.gov&#x2F;portal&#x2F;vehicle-industry-services&#x2F;auto...</a>
