Subject: Driver Blames GPS System For Car-Train Collision
On the evening of 10 Nov 2008, a man's car got stuck on the Metro-North
tracks in Bedford Hills, N.Y. in Westchester County because he said his GPS
told him to make an immediate right turn. Police blamed Jose Silva's
overdependence on GPS. He was cited for driving on the tracks and not
obeying signs. Metro-North spokeswoman Marjorie Anders said, "You don't
turn onto train tracks. Even if there are little voices in your head telling
you to do so. If the GPS told you to drive off a cliff, would you drive off
a cliff?"
The same thing had happened in Jan 2008. Apparently the safety features
that were added then were not enough to deter Silva. [Source: KPIX; PGN-ed]
