This month's read

Reporting stays concentrated: Waymo accounts for ~82% of all ADS crash reports (918 of 1,115) — but that reflects fleet size and reporting diligence, not relative risk. The signal worth watching is the severity mix: 82% are property-damage-only and just one fatality is alleged across the 13-month window.

Disengagement rate is the most-cited reliability proxy — and it scales inversely with fleet maturity: the two largest fleets (Waymo, Zoox) post the lowest rates, while small-fleet operators run 50–700× higher. The full Pro brief normalizes these against fleet activity and flags month-over-month movement.
