True?

AUGUST 7--A Google Street View car that was traveling in the wrong direction on a one-way street crashed into another vehicle last night as it attempted to make a U-turn, Arkansas police report.

The 6 PM accident on a Little Rock street left the Google car with significant damage to its front end. The other car was “#*$!in’ totaled,” according to driver Dylan Case, 22, who was injured in the crash.

Like any other odd accident of wrong-way driving, the only interest here is the car that caused the accident was G Streetview...

Maybe Google should use their self-driving cars for street view and get these idiots out from behind the wheel.

I initially read the first post too fast and thought the offending vehicle was a g### driverless car. "Oops! Back to the drawing board."

One would hope that he wasn't following turn directions from Google Maps. (Of course, a lot of others would hope he WAS...)

Might just well have been, Lucy24.....

Nah! Nothing like that! Just checking to see if the equipment had been damaged! Yeah, that's the ticket! :)
