I think he means 18% of crashes that the police report have an airbag deployment.
Yes thanks that is what I meant.
I don't know the percentage, but the majority of minor collisions never result in a police report. The parties involved just deal with their insurers. When a guy scratched my bumper at a stoplight I didn't waste time calling the police.
Wouldn’t that be absent from other car manufacturer’s data as well though?
Many minor crashes aren't in police reports at all. Either it involves only one party, or the police just straight up won't come out.
