Austin, Texas has become a hub for autonomous car testing due to its permissive regulations and favorable road conditions.
Tesla reported three crashes on its first day of autonomous testing in Austin on July 1, with only 7,000 miles logged.
Waymo's crash rate is significantly lower, with 60 crashes over 50 million miles driven.
Two of Tesla's crashes involved rear-end collisions, while one involved a low-speed collision with a stationary object, causing minor injury.
A fourth unreported crash occurred in a parking lot, and Tesla has redacted most details from the crash reports.
