AV Safety Intelligence
The monthly brief on top of NHTSA AV crash data
← back to the live dashboard

The data is public. Insight isn't.

The free dashboard shows you what got reported. The monthly brief tells you what changed and why it matters — normalized trends, new entrants, severity shifts, and the clean dataset, delivered to your inbox so you don't have to parse a federal CSV.

What a subscriber gets

  • Intelligence Brief — the month's movements, called out and explained.
  • Normalized trends — incidents indexed to reported fleet activity, not just raw counts (raw counts mislead).
  • Severity & crash-type analysis — where injuries are concentrating and how that's shifting.
  • New-entrant & anomaly alerts — first time a company appears, or an unusual month-over-month jump.
  • The clean dataset — normalized CSV/JSON download, ready for your own analysis.
  • California DMV disengagement view — disengagements per 1,000 autonomous miles, by company (added with annual DMV data).

Sample — March 2026 brief (excerpt)

Generated from NHTSA SGO 2021-01 · for illustration

Headline: Reported ADS incidents rose this month, but the rise is concentrated in two reporters expanding driverless operations — not a sector-wide safety regression.

Normalized read: On a per-operational-area basis, the incident rate for the top reporter actually declined ~11% vs. its trailing 3-month average, even as its absolute count rose — consistent with fleet expansion outpacing incident growth. The second reporter shows the inverse pattern and is the one to watch.

Severity: Minor-injury share fell while property-damage-only rose, suggesting lower-speed urban contact events dominate the new volume. No fatal allegations added this month.

Watch item: A new reporting entity appeared for the first time — early operations, small sample, flagged for next month.
