My favorite is when Google Maps asks questions while you're driving.

  And when it refuses to accept a vocal "Accept" or "Decline" when those are the buttons, because it doesn't know what you mean.

  The critical part you missed out was the default selection that almost never 'surprises' you. Do you want to take a shorter route? "No | Yes (auto selects in X seconds)" I feel this is possibly the best way you can provide the options.

    I think it should be "Yes | No (auto selects in X seconds)". I think changing from your current plan unless you panicedly (and in my jurisdiction, illegally) press a button to stay the course is just generally bad UI. Part of this is I just don't trust Google Maps' new route to actually be faster. It seems Google Maps doesn't properly weigh the cost of these items, which leads to it's suggested route usually being slower: * Crossing bridges during rush hour. * Making a left turn without a light across 3 lanes of traffic. * Going down small residential streets that are too narrow to safely drive the speed limit. * Routes that require turning onto a busy road without a light and the corner having really poor visibility.
