Woman Suing Google Over Walking Directions That Got Her Hit By a
Car  I trust Google with a lot of things, but when in doubt I
always fall back on good-old common sense. Lauren Rosenberg did
not. She walked onto a highway because Google told her to and
got hit by a car.  Rosenberg, who apparently takes things very
literally, was reading the directions on her Blackberry and thus
wasn't privy to the warning that shows up when you access
walking directions on a computer:   Deer Valley Drive, also
known as Utah State Route 224, was one such route, and following
Google's instructions to brave it on foot, Rosenberg was hit by
a car and is now suing the company for $100,000. She probably
figures it's a reasonable sum, considering that Google's worth
$1 with a hundred zeroes after it. [Search Engine Land via
