Had they been more widely deployed between 2020 and 2022, autonomous vehicles, also known as AVs, self-driving cars or robotaxis, could have prevented more than 1,300 traffic fatalities, according to a report published Tuesday by the Chamber of Progress, a center-left, tech-industry-funded advocacy group.
The report points to rising statewide traffic fatalities from 2019 to 2022, from 3,438 in 2019 to 4,166 in 2022.
That same report found that self-driving cars could have prevented more than 5,000 injuries in that same timespan, according to “an optimistic scenario which assumes that 13% of vehicles are replaced by AVs.”
