This needs to be chucked for failure to state a claim, immediately.

What stupid logic. Throw the case out and revoke the license of the attorney who filed it.

[Larry Lucido]

Should have taken a train.

Hokey Smoke, Bullwinkle!

I was hotshot driving one night in a rural area and my Garmin GPS sent me to a road ('something' lane .. I forget) that I had T-boned into.

I called everyone I knew to ask, "Left or right?" and no one that answered (it was about 1AM IIRC) knew.

So I took a right ... which was the wrong choice.

As I drove an extended cab Sterling PU w/38 foot heavy loaded trailer, I was soon enough in trouble.

Couldn't back down and couldn't go forward, off to the side, snowing ...

Long story short, my boss lambasted me for trusting the GPS too much and I was charged back the little over $500 to get towed out when daylight came.

If I only knew I could have sued Garmin.

Tort reform, tort reform...

We have to take the power out of the hands of the courts for unsupervised and unlimited seizures of private property by judicial whim.

Willie, this gal is your ideal customer for the trains you keep pushing at us.

Thisis the problem with navigational software and systems. If the data or software has a problem at all and anyone is injured they will sue the manufacturer, even if they are to blame 100%.

Laura Rosenberg. What a shock.

[Richard Kimball]

Hit her again.

[SwedishConservative]

The judge should require her to demonstrate how her blackberry explicitly instructed her to “next 2 miles, walk in front of moving traffic”.

I distrust and dislike Google for many reasons, but this I cannot get behind. This is probably why Google never actually promotes ANY product beyond “beta” (in the software industry we call it the “Google lifecycle”, hype -> beta -> discontinued).

Guess she or her lawyers never bothered to read Google's terms of use for its maps:

4. ... (a) Map data, traffic, directions, and related Content are provided for planning purposes only. You may find that weather conditions, construction projects, closures, or other events may cause road conditions or directions to differ from the map results. You should exercise judgment in your use of this Content.

6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY. (a) GOOGLE AND ITS LICENSORS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO TELE ATLAS AND ITS SUPPLIERS) MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY CONTENT OR THE PRODUCTS.

Ooops, this should probably get thrown out quickly, but you never with some US courts I suppose...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

plaintiff Lauren Rosenberg was led onto a dangerous highway

What? Google installed a ring in her nose and attached a chain to it...by which a Google employee could lead her around? Seems odd to me.

[Oztrich Boy]

If Google told you to jump off a bridge, would you?
