Speeding is one of the leading causes of death on the road. In 2020, speeding was a contributing factor in 11,258 deaths and 308,013 injuries, accounting for nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities and 13% of injuries in the U.S., according to the [NHTSA](https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813320). Safety initiatives such as [Vision Zero](https://visionzeronetwork.org/) have been instrumental in helping cities design streets, set speed limits, and implement policies to reduce speeding and lessen the likelihood and forcefulness of crashes. The Waymo Driver can help achieve that important goal.
