Synthesizing fatal crashes involving partially automated vehicles and comparing with fatal crashes involving non-automated vehicles

Automated vehicles (AVs) are expected to improve safety by gradually reducing human decisions while driving.However, there are still questions on their effectiveness as we transition from almost 0% AVs to 100% AVs with different levels of vehicle autonomy.The focus of this study, therefore, is on synthesizing and identifying risk factors influencin
