The relationship between humans and technology reached a new level of blind trust in Seattle, where a woman followed her GPS instructions with such devotion that she ended up driving on the tram tracks, continuing for several minutes without noticing the dangerous mistake she was making while witnesses watched the scene in astonishment.
Police had to intervene to stop the journey and remove the vehicle from the tracks, thus preventing a larger accident, and the driver only replied: “the GPS told me to go this way”, having to intervene to stop the journey and remove the vehicle from the tracks.
Line 1 tram service suffered significant delays that lasted for several hours while crews worked to clear the tracks, and social media users were quick to react with surprise to the unusual situation, questioning how a driver could trust her GPS so blindly without paying attention to where she was actually driving.
