0% of that is Google's fault.
Everyone knows that maps will recalculate the route if you miss your exit. "Crazy people swerving across 3 lanes to make an exit" is purely caused by selfish, dangerous drives who don't care about endangering themselves or the people around them.
- daemin 2y agoI've had Google start rerouting me when I'm stopped at traffic lights and the car rolled backwards like a few cms. Or when I'm driving down a road and it thinks I'm somewhere else and starts trying to find another route. I've mostly given up trusting Google directions and just use it for overall route planning but then doing navigation myself while driving.
- JoeAltmaier 2y agoHuh. We used to call that 'checking the map before you head out.' We used, like, paper. Worked great. All the young folks in our family who use their phone for navigation (all of them) are helpless if they lose connectivity or have to figure out a route themselves. We've lost something.
