Google sued after map directions lead to accident

Cases that have much more substance than this get thrown out every day. This will be tossed in about 2 seconds. It has no chance of standing in circut and hell no in the supreme court so its going to be tossed at first sight.

I for one lament the lost art of shoulder-walking. Sidewalks are for wimps

So what's next? The car's driver sues google for sending the lady walking his way. Google sues the municipal and state government for building the road. The taxpayer pays.
Isn't that how these things really end when they actually get somewhere?

If google had told her to jump off a cliff she probably would have done that too.

Honestly this just sounds like a law suit ploy. I mean who is stupid enough to cross a busy street without looking?

If you use the google street cam you can see there is a grass shoulder, so why the hell was she walking where she could get hit?

At first I thought she was walking across a Highway with no shoulder( we have several in Florida).
