In Short
- Bihar family follows GPS, ends up deep in forest territory
- Forced to spend night in car amidst wilderness
- Walks 4 kms to find network, rescued by cops next day
Iām sure they would have done better with mapquest.
So they kept driving deeper into the forestā¦then didnāt turn aroundā¦and to make matters worseā¦ decided to leave the car and walk 4km away to find a signal ā¦the fuck.
There have been a few articles recently blaming āgoogle mapsā for people driving into stupid places. The previous one I saw was where someone drove off the end of a bridge that had been washed out a year ago and not yet rebuilt.
In both cases, I feel the driver was to blame. They were the one operating the vehicle and ignoring all the indications of danger around them, not google.
If google maps told you to drive off a cliff ā¦
Iām just imagining a future where Google Maps gets compromised and then the attack commits genocide by making it tell people to crash there car.
I donāt think this is Googleās fault. You should not just take what it says as hard objective fact.
