Waymo has updated its “Waymo Safety Impact” webpage. The page starts with this line: “The trust and safety of the communities where we operate is paramount to us. That’s why we’re voluntarily sharing our safety data.” The latest update to the page brings us up through September 2025. It covers data from 127 million miles of fully autonomous driving.
“The data to date indicates the Waymo Driver is already making roads safer in the places where we currently operate. Specifically, the data below demonstrates that the Waymo Driver is better than humans at avoiding crashes that result in injuries — both of any severity and specifically serious ones — as well as those that lead to airbag deployments,” the company writes on the webpage.
In the company’s latest post on X announcing the update to the page, Waymo wrote:
“The Waymo Safety Hub is updated! Now featuring data from over 127M fully autonomous miles through September 2025 (that’s 150+ human driving lifetimes of experience!).
“The data remains strong across all domains and now includes detailed safety metrics for Austin, alongside San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Phoenix. waymo.com/safety/impact/ “
This is how the fully autonomous mileage is split by metro area:

Here is how some key stats on injury and airbag deployment compare between Waymo robotaxis and the human benchmarks in those cities:


I love seeing the graphs and the differences by city (the injury differences in San Francisco are stunning, by the way), but here are also some overarching figures from the company:

And here’s one more graph on these matters, including charts for each city:

It’s interesting how similar the stats are across the different metro areas. Solid looking safety improvement trends.
