Successful challenging interaction1 sourceCurator-reviewed
A small, hand-curated sample of real-world driving-automation events. Each record links to its original sources and states how far it has been reviewed.
This is a hand-curated convenience sample, not a systematic census, and it is not statistically representative of any system’s performance. The records here currently come from a single observer using a single system. Event counts by type or outcome are descriptive only — they are not safety rates or rankings, and they are not evidence that any system is safer or less safe than another.
85 events recorded — 44 failure / challenging, 29 successful handling, 12 neutral / unclear.
