Every company running driving automation on public roads has to file a report with the federal regulator for each crash. The filings are public and they are a spreadsheet of 116 columns, which is why almost nobody reads them. This is that file, in a form you can ask questions of.
The file has one structured column for what was hit. Everything else worth knowing sits in prose the operator composed. These counts come from reading all 1437 narratives; each opens the exact reports it counted, so the number can be checked rather than taken on trust.
The report mentions an ambulance, a fire truck, police or a siren. 9% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
The vehicle was stationary where it should not have been, or in the way. 9% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
Somebody on foot appears in the operator's account. 4% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
Road users with no bodywork around them. 3% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
Someone drove into the back of the automated vehicle. 3% of all filings, most of them Zoox, Inc..
The road was not in its usual state. 2% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
Each report carries a narrative written by the operator. Search them for the thing you actually want to know: an emergency vehicle, a school, a crosswalk, a wrong-way manoeuvre.

The May Mobility vehicle (Ego) approaches a turn with a trailing vehicle following closely behind. The May planner initially selects a trajectory it believes will safely complete the turn. However, as the Ego begins the turn, it re-evaluates the situation and detects a significant risk of striking the curb. At that point, the planner shifts focus from avoiding the curb entirely to minimizing the severity of a potenti
The May Mobility vehicle (Ego) is stopped at a red light, then the Ego begins to accelerate and turn right when the traffic light changes to green. As the Ego accelerates, a pedestrian begins moving and enters the crosswalk from the other side of the intersection. This activates the rule-based crosswalk logic. Ego determines that it is able to stop before the crosswalk without exceeding our max deceleration threshold

Automation is deployed city by city, and so is its record. These are the places with the most filings on file.
A filing records that a crash happened and who was involved. It does not establish fault, and most of these are low-speed contact with no one hurt. Only the ones reaching hospitalisation enter the register as cases.
