Washington, DC (CNN Business) The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released on Wednesday nine months of crash data from vehicles using driver-assist technologies like Tesla Autopilot as well as fully autonomous vehicles like Waymo's robotaxis. NHTSA broke crash data into two categories based on the level of the autonomous systems: driver-assist systems -- which offer speed and steering input -- and fully autonomous technologies, which are intended to one day safely function without human intervention. NHTSA found that there have been 367 crashes in the last nine months involving vehicles that were using these driver-assist technologies. There were 130 crashes involving fully automated driving systems, 62 of which were Waymo crashes. Not all relevant crashes may be included in the data set, NHTSA said, because crash data recording may vary widely among manufacturers.
