A pair of engineers at the University of Central Florida has found that autonomous vehicles are generally safer than those driven by humans except under two conditions.
In their study, published in the journal Nature Communications, Mohamed Abdel-Aty and Shengxuan Ding analyzed automobile crash data for California over the years 2016 to 2022, comparing the safety of autonomous vehicles versus human-operated vehicles.
Over the past several years, accidents involving autonomous vehicles have been reported extensively by the media, giving the impression that such vehicles may be unsafe or less safe than vehicles driven by human beings.
