I would agree if the purpose of GPS navigation was to allow you to drive with all your windows covered. It's not. When you're driving and can't see what's in front of you (because you're blinded by something, because there's fog, because it raining hard or because Batman is throwing smoke bombs) you have to slow down appropriately or stop entirely if necessary. I can understand following GPS indications and getting stuck in some mud but not falling of a bridge. If you don't see the rode in front of you: stop.
There can be some culpability in Google's direction, it doesn't have to be all the blame.
It's absolutely negligent of Google to suggest that route after been informed multiple times over 10 years the bridge is collapsed.
