Data from more than 2,000 self-driving vehicles has contributed to a study concluding they may be safer than humans in some conditions, and potentially more dangerous in others.

this week found that autonomous vehicles are less likely to be involved in accidents than humans in everyday scenarios including keeping in the same lane and maintaining speed with the flow of traffic.

Led by Shengxuan Ding, a PhD student at the University of Central Florida, the study found that autonomous vehicles could possibly improve road safety, but there are also areas that need improvement. It said the poor performance of autonomous vehicles in low light conditions might be attributed to"a lack of situational awareness in complex driving scenarios and limited driving experience."

"Key strategies include enhancing weather and lighting sensors, implementing redundancy measures, and integrating sensor data effectively. By focusing on these aspects, the safety of can be significantly enhanced in challenging scenarios," the research said.
