What the operators report themselves
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.
- Reports
- 1437
- Hospitalisation or worse

What the operators actually wrote
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.
- 128Emergency responders on scene
The report mentions an ambulance, a fire truck, police or a siren. 9% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
- 124Stopped or blocking traffic
The vehicle was stationary where it should not have been, or in the way. 9% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
- 59A pedestrian involved
Somebody on foot appears in the operator's account. 4% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
- 41A cyclist or scooter rider
Road users with no bodywork around them. 3% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
- 36Rear-ended by another vehicle
Someone drove into the back of the automated vehicle. 3% of all filings, most of them Zoox, Inc..
- 24Roadworks, cones or a closure
The road was not in its usual state. 2% of all filings, most of them Waymo LLC.
Ask the narratives
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.
