It never stops to amaze me how stupid some people can be. A 28 year old woman identified only as Hayley from London drove her £96,000 ($187,372) SL500 into a river because she followed her nav-systems instructions. Alice Clark, 24, saw the incident and jumped into the river to help Hayley escape from the car and climb onto the sinking car.
I just don’t understand why she would follow the nav-system if you can see that there is no road. Who is to blame for this incident, the stupid woman that clearly doesn’t have a brain, or the navigation system, which clearly was not updated.

i no u like benz a lot, but if there is a new technology that can self update everything, then that lady wouldn’t drive into the river. maybe she is just too confident about the benz navigation system.

Yes she may have been confident in the navigation system, but if you can see that the road ends and there is a river in front of you, would you really tell yourself that your eyes are fooling you and a computer that makes mistakes consistently will know better. I call this purely stupidity nothing else.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the image above is a photoshop, I created it by pasting an SL into a river to give you a visual representation what it probably looked like.
