The SGO file, in a form you can search

NHTSA publishes the crash reports as three CSV files of 116 columns each, with several versions of the same report mixed in. This is the same data as one table: driverless systems (ADS) and Level 2 driver assistance side by side, 2021 to today including NHTSA's archive, one row per report at its latest version, every row traceable to its NHTSA report number. Free, CC BY 4.0, refreshed from NHTSA on every pipeline run.

The AV came to a complete stop behind a semi-trailer truck stopped at a traffic signal at the intersection with [XXX]. The semi-trailer truck reversed into the AV, making contact with the front of the AV twice. Prior to contact, the AV operator honked the horn to attempt to alert the truck driver After contact, the AV operator got out of the car to attempt to flag down the truck driver. However, the driver of the semi-trailer truck left the scene without exchanging information. The impact resulted in damage to the front end of the AV. The AV was driven away from the scene, and a police report was filed to document the incident. The AV operator later reported moderate injuries.

At the same time, a backhoe loader was traveling behind and to the left of the AV. As the AV approached the intersection with [XXX], the AV began changing lanes into the left lane in front of the backhoe loader. The AV then braked and was hit from behind by the backhoe loader. This caused damage to the AV's rear bumper fascia, rear hatch and glass, rear driver side quarter panel and rear driver side door. Police were called to the scene. The parties exchanged information. There were no reported injuries and the AV was towed from the scene.

What this table is and is not. Rows are the operators' own filings, not verified cases, and a filing does not establish fault. NHTSA redacts most Level 2 narratives as confidential business information, so the text column is empty for most Tesla rows; the structured columns are not redacted. When one crash is filed by several entities, an operator and the fleet owner for example, NHTSA gives the filings one same_incident_id; the "one row per incident" view collapses them into a single row at the highest severity any filer alleged, with the count of filings and every report number beside it, so a count of incidents or deaths is not inflated by duplicate filings. The table joins NHTSA's current files (incidents from June 2025, after the third amended order) with its 2021-2025 archive, which used an older layout: severity labels, roadway and weather fields differ between the two sets, and the source_set column in the CSV says which one a row came from. Level 2 reports are shown here because the file contains them, but they are not cases in the register, which counts a vehicle as a robot only when nobody inside is responsible for driving. Source: NHTSA SGO 2021-01. On 7 November 2026 we filed a public comment built on this table in the California Public Utilities Commission's Rulemaking R.12-12-011, asking for machine-readable mileage files and a crosswalk between the Commission's incident categories and the SGO definitions. The themed reading of the driverless narratives is on the reports page.
