This is both amusing and disturbing (via Tim Blair):
AN 80-year-old German motorist has obediently followed his navigation system all the way into a huge pile of sand, abrubtly bringing his trip to an end.
The motorist ignored a motorway "closed for construction" sign and crashed his Mercedes into a pile of sand further down the road, police have said."The driver was following the orders from his navigation system and even though there was a sufficient number of warnings and barricades, he continued his journey into the construction site," a police spokeswoman said.
Just following orders?
Should al Qaeda ever manage to hack into OnStar, Germany could be destroyed in a holiday weekend.Though I'm reasonably sure that the French and Italians are safe since I'm not sure those drivers are aware that traffic laws even exist.
