A new report shows self driving cars prone to accidents, but that does not mean they are less safe -

According to a new report from transportation researchers, Michael Sivak and Brandon Schoettle University of Michigan Transportation research Institute, it is found that self driving cars had an average collision rate of 9.1 per million miles driven while conventional vehicles had 4.1 per million miles driven.

The study is based on comparing accident records from 2012 to September 2015, against the three companies that have made autonomous vehicle tests :. Google Delphi and Audi with the registration of all conventional vehicles in the US for 2013. safety record adjusted for under-reporting of safety accidents

It is also found that self vehicles conduct had a higher rate of 3.29 injuries per million miles driven with a conventional vehicle to 1.02 per million miles driven.

According Schoettle, self driving vehicles could be concluded that more dangerous than conventional vehicles; However, the data is actually proven otherwise. auto car driving seem to be more likely to get involved in accidents in general, even if it is not their fault, because they have always been struck by conventional vehicles, but injuries that occurred were less severe and minor up 'now. In addition to this, there were no deaths and there was no type of serious accidents, such as accidents on the head or involving pedestrians.

The research also noted that apparently there is not enough data that self driving cars had only been on the road for a few years and accumulated only about 1.2 million miles and most documents are Google cars. classic cars, on the other hand, have accumulated about three billion miles annually in the United States itself.
