Sure, if there is daylight.

too late!! :)

Um...don’t drivers usually look forward when they drive?

When all you can see is air from about 1/4 mile away...you stop the car.

I almost drove into the ocean at AC once. There was an unblocked boat ramp and I drove down it at 3am :)

I had good breaks and young eyes and was able to stop...in the dark...no lights in that area.

Maybe there were no lights in this area.

What a shame

Google says turn left right before the entrance to my business. This brings a lot of traffic in but they can’t get out. They have to go back the way they came. Many see the opportunity to drive across the grass to where they should have turned. The police have decided it’s good idea to sit there and wait for them to cross the grass. Destruction of public property. Most of that grass belong to the city.

LOL.

Using Google Maps a few years back during a stay in Panama put us into people’s backyards and would have sent us off cliffs if we followed its directions. I use Waze instead.

Very sad. May they rest in peace.

Looks like DEI has crept into Google now.

We need to let India know about orange traffic cones and jersey barriers.

Driving from LA to Boulder City, NV. - took a wrong turn and tried to follow Google’s correcting instructions. Finished up in a very sleezy area of Las Vegas....”You have reached your destination”.

[PGalt]

Yikes! It can happen. Years ago some GPS instruction sent my wife down a one-way street going the wrong way. Luckily passenger hubby was paying attention.

[Getready]

Maybe the highway men were using Google maps to decide where signs were needed and Google thought the road was OK...so they didn’t put signs there.
For life and death things, ya’ can’t always trust the computer.

[yldstrk]

Google is getting sued bigtime.

VOICE: “Re-calculating”

But the unalived driver and passengers didn't hear that.

[Fresh Wind]

I had Google tell me to turn left when I could literally see my destination off to my right.

This is not Googles fault. Why wasn’t this blocked off. Big fail there.
