... ADS Impacts on Safety 11   assessment of specific programs such as intersection safety, roadway departure, and pedes­ trian safety. If the agency is targeting roadway departure crashes, then it might be appropriate to compare the number and cost of related safety improvement projects each year to the number and trend in roadway departure crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
From page 12...
... 12 Framework for Assessing Potential Safety Impacts of Automated Driving Systems crash types. As such, we need to consider the crash types and contributing factors that could be addressed by each ADS technology, individually and in combination, within the facility types where the technology is most likely to operate and under different deployment scenarios.
From page 13...
... ADS Impacts on Safety 13   reduce the severity of those crashes as well. For example, automatic emergency braking, auto­ pilot, forward collision warning, and lane­keeping assist are associated with some of the more severe crash types (e.g., right­angle, head­on, run­off­road, pedestrian, and bicycle)
