How safe are robotaxis?

Neither Waymo nor Tesla's robotaxi service has ever caused a fatality. Waymo reports 1.28 police-reportable crashes per million driverless miles (IIHS matched study) vs 4.06 for human drivers in the same areas; Tesla does not disclose robotaxi mileage, so its per-mile rate can't be independently computed. See the full scoreboard for sourced numbers.
