In one test, a Google car was hit by another driver and the car's data was used to create an annotated map of the surroundings which proved what happened.
Urmson added: "We don't have to rely on eyewitnesses that can't act be trusted as to what happened — we actually have the data.
"The guy around us wasn't paying enough attention. The data will set you free."
Google has been testing its cars on public roads since 2010, and ensure there is a human in the driver's seat who can take over if necessary.
It has plans for a new dashboard display for its driverless cars, which would help people understand what the autonomous car is doing and when they might want to take over.
The company said it is thinking about different ways of bringing the cars to the market.
