Self Driving Cars Accidents: How many accidents are caused by self-driving cars?

Self-driving cars combine a variety of sensors to perceive their surroundings, such as thermographic cameras, radar, lidar, sonar, GPS, odometry and inertial measurement units.

Possible technological obstacles for automated cars are:

• Artificial Intelligence is still not able to function properly in chaotic inner city environments.
• A car’s computer could potentially be compromised, as could a communication system between cars.

There are many but just to mention a few.

How many accidents are caused by self-driving cars?

The global self-driving cars market size is projected to grow from 20.3 million units in 2021 to 62.4 million units by 2030, at a CAGR of 13.3%.

There are 9.1 driveless car crashes per million miles driven. The self-driving car accident rate is higher than the one of human-driven vehicles. That is to say, regular vehicles have a rate of 4.1 crashes per million miles.
