Transparency and accountability are essential to achieving Waymo’s mission to be the world’s most trusted driver. So today, we’re excited to launch a new data hub that demonstrates how the Waymo Driver is making roads safer, backed by our driving data. The new data hub compares the Waymo Driver’s crash rates to humans’ in the cities where we operate. It leverages best practices in safety impact analysis, invites researchers to replicate the results, and will be regularly updated. Learn more about the new hub: https://lnkd.in/gp3C_X4U

As we prepare to surpass 100,000 trips at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport this week, we’re proud to announce that all riders can now get 24/7 pickups and dropoffs directly at the terminal curbside. This unlocks even more convenience for travelers to get safely to and from the world’s first airport to allow autonomous rides, and is thanks to the close collaboration with airport officials and the City of Phoenix.

Congratulations to Tilia Gode, Waymo's Head of Risk and Insurance, for being included in Silicon Valley Business Journal's 40 Under 40! Tilia is one of the first actuaries, globally, to specifically focus on AVs, and has helped shape how the field approaches both measurement of risk and how the current insurance industry plays into the burgeoning AV sector. We're so grateful for her contributions at Waymo and toward the sector at large. https://lnkd.in/dsdsS3un

Aligning on best practices for evaluating the safety performance of autonomous vehicles is crucial. Today, we are proud to share a significant milestone toward this goal through a newly published paper. Written by experts across academia, insurance, and industry with Waymo as a primary contributor, the paper presents a checklist for retrospective automated vehicle evaluation (RAVE). It’s a set of 15 specific recommendations for researchers on how to compare AV crash rates to human benchmarks. At Waymo, we spent years refining the best practices for crash rate analysis. The RAVE checklist is an industry-wide elaboration that builds off of the collective experience across organizations, including our own research, and we’re excited to be able to share it with the broader community and help promote good scientific practices. https://lnkd.in/g-ZR3hhr

"Simply put, there are few places today that can legitimately claim to have connected AI, robotics, and real-world users, and can even start looking at this next generation of technological challenges. Even fewer perhaps that are doing it with such a strong culture of safety at their core, which enables each and every engineer to work knowing that they are backed by the best supporting processes every step of the way." Grateful to have you on the team, Vincent Vanhoucke. 💚💙
