@kytta Setting aside the fact that Google Maps are terrible for navigation (it's basically only useful as a company catalogue with a map view), why are cars driving the wrong way? Are there no road signs? I understand that it can be inconvenient when a map directs you onto a road that you cannot drive on, but drivers should at least have the cognitive ability to interpret road signs - that's why driver's exams exist, after all.

Do I understand correctly? The biggest player in self-driving cars didn't 'teach' them what to do if traffic lights don't work? The future is here 🤦

@kytta@polymaths.social I don't know much about driving in other cities in Germany, but if we're talking about Berlin, then I'm familiar with the awful driving culture here ;(
