Google allegedly gave drivers bridge route for years despite correction requests.
People have become too entitled with the idea that all information should and must be updated and accurate in the information age.
I grew up learning how to read the Rand McNally maps. Imagine if one of those maps showed a road/bridge was available only to find out it wasn’t. It’s not the map makers responsibility, nor do they have an obligation for 100% accuracy. They strive for accuracy only because it’s good for their business.
I saw in the article that they’re suing the road owners. Those are who are responsible, not Google. They took down the barricades because of “vandalism” and didn’t immediately replace them.
It’s one thing if the map is outdated by a few months, but the bridge has been down for a decade and google has been ignoring reports to change the system
A print map should also have been able to adjust to this in a decades time
Not to say google is responsible I’ll just trying to see the family’s pov, you know the people who just lost a loved one partially due to this. Google told them to go over the bridge that fell. Sure its not the fault of Google that the bridge is down, but most people expect Google to be update to date, or at least change an issue that’s been for a decade
