Will Automated Cars Cause More Accidents?

Although California gets to be the testing ground for Google’s automated car, the technology, if successful, could soon be coming to the Dallas/Fort Worth highways. The hopes are the car’s advanced technology will make the nation’s highways safer; something Texas could use as it ranks highest in the nation for yearly traffic fatalities.

The car’s sensors, cameras and computer programs enable the vehicle to operate safely in a variety of conditions with no input from the driver. Advocates of the cars say that the cars will even allow the visually impaired to drive since the vehicles will do all the “seeing” for the driver.

Advocates also claim that the cars will reduce accidents since the sensors and programs can respond much more quickly than human drivers and are not prone to human error. Some believe the cars will eliminate distracted driving, since owners will be free to text and engage in other activities while the vehicle drives for them.

Developers state that the cars have been undergoing tests for years and the only accident in 300,000 miles was a minor rear-end crash that could be prevented in the future by installing heat-seeking technology in the trunk to detect approaching cars.

Critics remind advocates that technology is imperfect and computers and computer programs develop glitches or crash unexpectedly. Drivers in an automated car may not to watch the road and notice a problem in time to prevent an accident.

Time and further testing will tell whether these cars make the roadways safer or more hazardous.

When I first meet the Parker Law Firm “team”, they were friendly and sincerely concerned about me. They always went above and beyond in helping me and keeping me well informed throughout my whole process. I appreciate each and every one of the people involved in my case. I can’t say enough wonderful things about them.

They are a "5" on all qualities: especially professionalism. We received a superb referral to an attorney who met our exact needs. We would not have known about that attorney's office - Kent Davis - had it not been for the quick responsiveness to an inquiry for an estate attorney. The Brad Parker Law Firm has a spirit of partnership with potential clients, actual clients and fellow attorneys. Greatly appreciated. If I have a need for Mr. Parker's direct services, I will certainly give him a call.

I called for a consultation on a vehicle accident. Patricia was eager to help and was so professional. She took her time speaking to us and answered any questions my husband and I had without hesitation. She also offered to send us valuable information. They made us feel at ease during a very stressful time. I would definitely recommend their services.
