    Blindly followling GPS in car, can be dangerous

    http://driving.ca/auto-news/news/bli...-can-be-deadly It's the 2nd article after the lst one.

    I know that my partner has occasionally complained about his GPS for cycle tours out of town, that it was slightly wrong. He has strong natural geospatial skills, so can spot strange things very early and can reroute himself in unfamiliar areas.

    This is why I don't trust driverless cars....we are relying on preprogrammed noises, movements to trigger the car's actions.. When there is no human being present actually there to navigate with other less than perfectly navigated driverless cars.

    It also makes me wonder about the drones, that Amazon is experimenting with small pkg. deliveries. No guarantee those drones would crash into a building or worse into a person

    (I am a doubting Thomas when people now tell me ( a librarian who taught people how to research on fee-based databases) that you can find everything (info.) that you need via Google. No. Thousands of proprietary databases shut out Google search engine.)
