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.

Inside the narratives

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.

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.

24 reports: roadworks, cones or a closure.

By place

Where the reports come from

Automation is deployed city by city, and so is its record. These are the places with the most filings on file.

What this is not

A report is not a verdict

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.
