I can't edit my comment anymore, but I'd like to point out that I'm not commenting on what people's behavior should be, but that there's a generational difference between people who always trust the app and do what it says versus people who are willing to consider the actual conditions. People over 40 don't treat directions the same anymore. Maybe they're wrong to question the app. That wasn't really the point. The point was, like the OP article, that "the app" has changed our relationship to spatial orientation and navigation.
