Incidents

Exposure

1 of 22 recorded deployments report a regulator-filed mileage figure (CA DMV Autonomous Mileage Report). Total: 169 miles across deployments with a figure on file.

CA DMV mileage figures are statewide per-manufacturer totals (Autonomous Vehicle Tester Program reporting), not deployment-specific. See each deployment's own source citation for the exact reporting period and figure.

21 deployments for Nuro report no exposure figure and are excluded from the totals above rather than counted as zero.

A note on NHTSA's crash-reporting data

Many of the incidents below are drawn from NHTSA's Standing General Order (SGO) 2021-01 crash-reporting program, which requires manufacturers and operators of automated driving systems (ADS) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) to report qualifying crashes. It is the only nationwide, cross-operator crash dataset that exists for this industry, and it is also, by NHTSA's own design and Consumer Reports' public assessment, an imperfect one.

Reporting companies may redact narrative fields as confidential business information (CBI). In practice this means narrative completeness is uneven across manufacturers in the underlying dataset: some incident reports read as full prose descriptions of what happened, others are replaced with boilerplate redacted text. This is a property of the source data, not of DEPLOY's editorial process; DEPLOY publishes what the filing discloses and states plainly when a fuller account is not publicly available.

The SGO dataset also does not publish exposure denominators (miles driven, hours operated, rides given) alongside crash counts, so a raw incident count cannot be turned into a rate without an independently sourced denominator. See "Exposure" below for what DEPLOY does and does not have on file for this company.

Common questions

What is Nuro's safety record?
DEPLOY has 6 incidents on file for Nuro, drawn from NHTSA's Standing General Order crash-reporting program and press coverage. Each incident below is individually sourced and dated; see the incident list for details.
Is Nuro safer than a human driver?
DEPLOY has partial exposure data (deployment-hours) on file for Nuro's deployments; see the Exposure section for what is and is not covered. A defensible per-mile or per-hour comparison to human drivers requires a complete, verified exposure denominator across the full fleet and operating window, which DEPLOY does not yet have for every deployment.
Does DEPLOY redact or omit crash details for Nuro?
No. DEPLOY does not redact incident narratives. Where a source narrative is itself incomplete (for example, a NHTSA SGO filing redacted as confidential business information), DEPLOY states that plainly rather than filling the gap. See "A note on NHTSA's crash-reporting data" below.
