Google was notified of the bridge being out nine years ago
Yeah, they should lose this one.
Nah I don’t buy it. “GPS says turn right off this cliff” is a problem between the wheel and the driver seat, full stop.
Right, because it's not the drivers responsibility to take basic saftey precautions like looking out the fucking windshield to see where he's going.
No, it must be the map's fault.
But even then, Google's directions can get weird sometimes regardless if they know of the closure. It happened to me a few weeks ago where a bridge was marked as closed on both sides in Google Maps: it would correctly detour me when going from East to West, but every time it insisted I should drive over the closed bridge when going from West to East.
Actually still does it, try following NY-31 in Lyons from both directions, Google would love to have you drive into the water if you're coming from the West.
Do you drive with your eyes closed?
