Rate board

Reports per million driverless miles in California, 2025Q4. The divisor is California mileage, so only the reports filed in California enter the numerator — the count in each row is the national one, and the share of it that is rateable is drawn alongside. The 95% interval is exact Poisson: it widens sharply on small counts, which is most operators here.

Do they report the same way?

No. The share of filings made under the 5-Day rule — triggered by severity, typically a tow-away — differs by more than an order of magnitude. Until that is equal, raw crash counts between operators measure filing practice as much as events.
