Like, if a navigational system says ‘turn left here’ and there is a ravine on your left, is your death really the responsibility of the company that created the navigational system?
However, the confusion i think comes from the fact that GPS is 99% of the time better than you at picking the correct road to reach a destination.
The problem with all those systems is that they're better than you 99% of the time, and they fail miserably in that last 1%. Makes it totally unsuitable for anything of importance i think ( same reason why GPS is fine, yet automatic driving isn't there yet).
So now it always gives you a warning that it doesn’t know; which everyone promptly ignores because it comes up every time.
I suspect we’re about ten years from any GPS navigation device being required to have a PLT or similar like the iPhone now has.
Of course that happened with paper maps and the person is always somewhat to blame, but we do a lot to preserve idiots alive.
Was it this one?
