    How would this person survive only a few years ago if they blindly trusted Google Maps completely and absolutely for their physical safety? Google Maps doesn’t turn your steering wheel or press your gas pedal.

      Because they’re not blindly trusting Google maps, which is why Google is only one of those in the lawsuit and not the most culpable.

      I would usually agree but there was no barriers I am not sure about signage. While I think the driver should always be aware of where they are driving they honestly set him up for failure. On top of that Google had a decade to fix the route and didn’t.

      If there was signage, that at a minimum would make it his fault.
