I’m working on an assignment for school about vehicle safety and I’ve found some useful summary statistics about traffic accident data in general but I’m specifically looking for studies into the effectiveness of driver assist technologies in reducing accident/fatality rates.

A dataset showing the following would be useful

  • type of cars involved in accidents
  • driver assist / not
  • outcome of incident - injury/fatality

Even if you could just point me in the direction of a place where I can find detailed studies that would be much appreciated! :)

The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) in the U.S. is supported by the insurance companies and has details for items such as advanced driver assist. They are in some ways ahead of the NTSB in how and what they test. You may need to reach out to them directly to get a raw data export, or just scrape.
