How blindly do you follow GPS? Tourists fell into the sea (VIDEO)
They were rescued by the boat’s crew
Blind faith in GPS directions can lead you down the wrong road, but in the worst case scenario, it can also threaten your safety. That’s what happened to two tourists in Hawaii when their GPS guided their vehicle into the harbor… into the harbor.
Any reasonable person would struggle to understand why someone would obey a turn left/right direction when the sea is in that direction, but the incident also raises questions about the reliability of GPS navigators, reminding users that they should never follow them blindly.
Luckily for them, there was a boat crew right next to it and people rushed to help the trapped tourists, getting them safely out of the car. The vehicle continued to sink into the water until it disappeared below the surface.
Those who have seen the series “The Office”, will remember the corresponding episode where Michael Scott had the same fate, following the directions of the GPS, emphasizing that ” the machine knows “.
