Reminds me of a recent newspaper story about an American tourist in Germany, driving a rental car and following the GPS instructions slavishly until he found himself and his car inside a shop :-) On a related note, flying back from Spain this evening I was reading a survey of aviation in The Economist, in which they foresee a future of pilotless aviation, initially for military applications but later also for passenger travel. As a weekly traveller, I am not quite sure about getting into a plane with no pilot.
