    Eleven vehicles with a driver death rating of zero

    According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, there are 11 vehicles that have a driver death rate of zero. These statistics were compiled for the 2014 model year and are the latest numbers available. So, while they may not directly apply to brand-new 2018 models currently on sale, it's still useful information for anyone looking to buy a late-model vehicle.

    Note that the IIHS sometimes breaks down its ratings to a specific variant of an automobile. Some models have ratings that very between front- or all-wheel drive, for example, as you'll soon see as you scroll through this slideshow.
