“The main thing is: do not blindly rely on AI as as a route planning tool. It can never substitute for good education, good training, a good experience, good decision making in the field.”

    In July, three people were rescued after they planned a route on the Howe Sound Crest Trail using Google Maps, which gave them wildly inaccurate time estimates, suggesting a route that often takes as long as 14 hours could be done in just over five

    Its like that in vietnam too, 6 hours is 8 or 9 in good conditions and riding double the speed limit.

    Last month, google maps tried to send me down a road that is under water for 3 months of the year, after several miles of construction.

    I switched to waze after google kept routing me off the highway and through dirt trails between farms or dense, winding neighborhood allys to avoid interchanges. At one point google hated a highway so much I had to put traffic stop every 20 miles or do or it would tell me to turn around and make a 1 hour detour instead of following a straight, empty highway.

    God forbid you turn off navigation and just look at the map

    Good luck finding a recently updated map LOL

    Also, I often drive alone, and when I have a passenger she's literally blind and isn't helpful for map reading.

    I've been a Waze user for 15 years and it's fucking great.

    I recently read about a similar story with Deepseek. Don't understand why someone blindly trusts a LLM.

    It also happened with Gemini https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/mount-shasta-rescue-ai-22414497.php

    It's becoming the new "our latest model also "accidentally" hacked someone"

    I asked Claude how to pee. It all made sense but unfortunately I now need to cleanup.
