The City AV Index

How ready is your city for autonomous driving?
Nexar’s AV Readiness Index measures every U.S. city through the lens of real-world driving—leveraging 10 billion miles of human driving behavior, monthly data freshness, and block-level risk signals

What Determines a City’s AV Readiness?

Autonomy isn’t just about miles driven — it’s about where those miles happen.
 Each city has its own risk profile, operational complexity, and behavioral patterns

The Parameters That Matter

The Nexar AV Readiness Index evaluates cities using objective indicators extracted from real-world human driving behaviors:

Collision rates

Hard brake rates

Data freshness and coverage strength

Construction zone volatility (to be implemented)

Predictive risk signals (implemented soon)

Why Real-World Data Is the Only Reliable Standard

Simulation is a training tool. Physical Intelligence is the proving ground.
Cities change by the week — construction zones shift, friction patterns evolve, collision hotspots move.
Static maps can’t keep up.
Nexar ensures each city in the Index meets our Ground Truth Threshold. And if you try to meet any other threshold, your basing off something that may not exist.
