Self-Driving Cars [Safety]

By 2030, an estimated 4 million fully autonomous vehicles will travel U.S. roadways. A significant challenge is ensuring these vehicles are safe enough to operate on public roads. More and more of today’s new cars come equipped with autonomous driving features. Autonomous vehicles excel at regular driving, but their ability to consistently navigate hazards is crucial for real-world use. Conventional safety testing would require billions of miles driven to accumulate adequate data on all potential safety scenarios.
