Self-Driving Cars Could Prevent Over 1 Million Road Injuries Across the U.S. by 2035
A study shows self-driving cars could prevent more than 1 million U.S. road injuries by 2035, cutting traffic-related accidents by 3.6%. Researchers modelled multiple adoption and safety scenarios, highlighting the potential of AVs to reduce human-error crashes. Future studies on highways are needed to fully assess the public health benefits of autonomous vehicles.
