https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7184435/Vehicles-left-muddy-mess-field-Google-Maps-offered-short-cut-Denver-airport.htmlDozens of vehicles struggled through a 'muddy mess' of a road on Sunday after they followed directions from Google Maps that offered a short cut to the Denver International Airport.
Connie Monsees, a Highlands Ranch native, used her Google maps app to divert around a traffic jam on Pena Boulevard on Sunday. She soon wound up on the muddy off-road.
'It eventually took me to a road that...became dirt,' Monsees explained on an ABC News podcast. 'I was not the only one, there was probably a hundred cars out there.'

Passenger: Hey look it's a cliff, we should stop.
Driver: But google is my master, it tells me to keep going...
