Trial Lawyers Lobby Against Autonomous Vehicles
1 min read
The American Association for Justice, the trial lawyers' lobby, has opposed autonomous vehicle legislation for nearly a decade. Waymo vehicles, operating in five U.S. cities over 220 million miles, show 94% fewer serious injuries, 82% fewer air bag deployments, and 93% fewer pedestrian injuries compared to human drivers. Trial lawyers earn heavily from litigating auto accidents, with annual U.S. auto insurance payouts around $180, 220 billion.
