Where Are Self-Driving Cars the Safest?

At first glance, this might suggest autonomous vehicles perform better in Arizona than California.

But the hard reality is this: traffic density, road design, driving behaviors, and operating conditions all influence crash rates.

Side note: I wonder if autonomous vehicles are sometimes too safe, following the rules of the road to a tee.

There is interesting data from my neighbor Mark, who by the way, loves his Tesla.

The safest city for a robotaxi today may not remain the safest tomorrow.
