I was coming back from Ipoh yesterday when I heard over the radio about one Lauren Rosenberg suing Google Maps for providing directions which led her to a highway and was knocked by a vehicle.
My hearing wasn't good so initially I heard a woman from UTAR though I wondered about the unusual name for a Malaysian. It was only later when I heard she was suing for 100,000 dollars that I realised it happened in US and the lady in the radio studio speaking to the DJ meant UTAH!
Apparently, Google Maps provide maps for travelling by motor vehicles as well as for those who are hiking. Just imagine, following the maps led to walking on the highway where there was no pedestrian walkway!
