Is riding a robotaxi safe, and can anyone honestly say?

Rate board

Reports per million driverless miles in California, 2026Q1. The divisor is California mileage, so only the reports filed in California enter the numerator — the count in each row is the national one, and the share of it that is rateable is drawn alongside. The 95% interval is exact Poisson: it widens sharply on small counts, which is most operators here.

Do they report the same way?

No. The share of filings made under the 5-Day rule — triggered by severity, typically a tow-away — differs by more than an order of magnitude. Until that is equal, raw crash counts between operators measure filing practice as much as events.
