AI - Accident Investigation
In 50 years of driving I've had two auto accidents, each time I hit a car driving towards me that suddenly turned in front of me.
Last week I was using Google "Driving" to give me directions in a remote area of the USA. I approached an empty road that appeared to be a crossroads and it told me to take the next left ... about half a mile down the road the oncoming truck started flashing its lights at me and I realized that I was driving the wrong way down a dual carriageway with trees on both sides so there was no way to see the other carriageway traffic at all - luckily there was very little traffic. I managed to find a cop crossover and got back to the right side very quickly but those AI driving instructions scared the hell out of me. Google maps knows which side of the road you are on and it didn't bother to say anything, just "take the next left".
