- Despite Accidents, Google Defends Driverless Cars
One of Google’s self-driving cars was involved in another accident last week, according to Google co-founder Sergey Brin who oversees the company’s self-driving car fleet.
Auto accidents, whether caused by human or computer, error are always dangerous and can lead to serious injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident, our Phoenix personal injury attorneyscan help get you the compensation you deserve.
Though the vehicles have now been involved in 12 accidents in the last six years, the tech giant refuses to release the accident reports from the incidents. They also continue to defend the new technology and its hope to make roads safer.
Driving on Arizona roads is a dangerous activity. If you have been injured in a car accident, call the experienced team of auto accident lawyers at Phillips Law Group at 1-800-706-3000 .
According to Google, the self-driving car has never been at fault in any of the accidents, though an employee was in control at the time of one of the accidents.
According to Chris Urmson, director of the program, the vehicles were hit from behind in most of the accidents, in addition to some freeway and traffic light incidents.
Consumer Watchdog, a group that has been highly critical of Google’s new venture, is demanding the company release the accident reports from the crashes, stating that it will give the public a better idea of the risks that the vehicles pose.
Unfortunately, both Google and the Department of Motor Vehicles, where the reports are filed, have refused the request out of privacy concerns for the other drivers involved.
Brin says that even if the reports were released without the names of the victims, the documents wouldn’t disclose anything more than the summary that the company has posted about the accidents.
Driverless vehicles present uncharted waters for regulators who are still grappling with ways to regulate the quickly growing technology.
The Google self-driving cars have driven more than 1.7 million miles, but there are still a lot more test miles to go before all of the kinks and issues are worked out.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

My Attorney Sean Davis and his paralegal Hannah Dustin worked on my case. They listened to the problems that I was having with my case and they both got right to work. First they found me a doctor that actually listened to my problems from my car accident and worked quickly to form a plan that was comfortable for me and the doctor. The doctor was the best and after a couple of procedures the pain in my neck was gone. Behind the scenes Sean and Hannah were working hard to get my case settled with the insurance company. They kept in contact with me on all aspects of my case. They settled my case much faster than I expected and for more than I was expecting. If you want two real professional legal people to work on your case, I would highly recommend Sean and Hannah to you. I cannot say enough nice things about these two. Thank you so much, Rickey Hart .

I’ve been working at Phillips Law Group for nearly four years and I can confidently say this is the best personal injury firm in Arizona to work for. The firm is the best for numerous reasons but to start, Phillips Law Group gives employees opportunities for promotions and growth. I started working within the settlement department, moved to a paralegal assistant and grew to be a pre-litigation paralegal with my own case load. Each attorney I have worked for is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and easy to talk to. Secondly, I love how Phillips Law shows appreciation for employees. They host Friday Zoom Huddles giving out PTO, goodie bags, special shout outs, bonuses and gift cards. They also host extravagant holiday parties and fun contests during the Holidays! Lastly, the firm cares about giving back to the community, which is a trait I value as well. It’s rewarding to see a fast paced firm taking time out of their busy day to pay it forward. I would highly recommend working at Phillips Law Group!
