    Default GPS Stupidity

    Mindless lemmings who have zero actual thought processing and critical thinking capability...

    Dozens of drivers hoping to find a quicker route around a crash on Pena Boulevard on Sunday found themselves in a muddy mess.

    But Google says it will be OK.

    So what would you have done? Everything was fine until it wasn't and no one could turn around.

    I would have been very wary because I've tried to drive through, and gotten stuck in mud before. This was a great learning experience for a lot of people. Now they know.

    You can always stop and not proceed into the mud or other non-driveable terrain features.

    Thread title is misleading.




    It wasn't the GPS that was stupid.

    Yep, and when the self driving cars are run by the same tools, we will still blame the passengers for the inability to think?

    Hahahaha. I laughed hard when I saw this in the news this morning along with all the pictures of the dummies out of their cars scratching their heads.
