UC Berkeley SafeTREC has recently launched an Autonomous Vehicles (AV) Safety Dashboard, which allows users to visualize all reported crash incidents from 2014-2025 and all reported mileage data from 2019-2024 for autonomous vehicles with AV Testing and AV Testing Driverless Testing Permits from the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The dashboard currently does not include data on AV deployments for fared rides that are authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission.
The AV Safety Dashboard comes at a time where AVs are experiencing a surge in popularity and usage, especially in California. With this rise comes questions from researchers and the general public about the safety of AVs, especially as fully autonomous vehicles have been deployed in major cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
"Our motivation to create the AV Safety Dashboard was to help make AV crash records more accessible and to improve transparency around AV testing in California," said Matthew Raifman, transportation safety researcher at SafeTREC.
"While the data behind the dashboard has always been publicly available as individual PDFs, we now share the data in an aggregated way with useful visualizations and in a downloadable machine-readable format."
The AV Crash Data feature has an interactive map where users can click on individual markers to view data from specific crashes, such as the date, time, AV manufacturer, and summary of the crash provided by the manufacturer. Users can filter the crash data by year, manufacturer, county, city, and permit type. The webpage also includes tables on the number of reported AV crashes by year and time of day, as well as charts on the weather and lighting conditions during reported AV crashes.
The AV Mileage Data feature provides data regarding the amount of miles traveled by AVs from December 2018 to 2024, including miles traveled by month and year. Users can filter the data by manufacturer.
"We believe that data on both AV crashes and AV activity are important to make accessible to the public," Raifman said.
"While we recognize that it is desirable to some to combine the two datasets and present crashes-per-mile-traveled as a metric of safety, we discourage this because the spatial resolution between the two datasets differs. We currently separate the two datasets into two features due to the potential for misinterpretation."
As of September 2025, data regarding 3,907 testing vehicles with a cumulative 28.1 million miles and 839 crashes is available to view. The dashboard will be updated about every quarter, with AV crash data now available from October 2014 to August 26, 2025. Future updates to the dashboard may include deployment data on top of the current testing-only dataset, as determined by the California DMV.
To access the dashboard, visit the AV Safety Dashboard webpage. The page includes resources on current DMV regulations for AVs, as well as raw mileage, disengagement, and crash data downloadable as PDFs and CSVs. To provide feedback on the dashboard, please take our survey
