To me, this shows how folks throw their brains out the window when it comes to trusting tech.

Natural Selection can be tough to witness but it’s a fact of life.

Even if they got stuck and had to be towed they probably had more money left than if they got to the cadino.

Considering their intended destination, they're probably not the brightest travelers.

I guess it shouldn't surprise me but how does someone not realize they aren't in Atlantic City and shouldn't be turning down dirt roads in the middle of the woods

To be fair I used to go to some “casinos” that were in the middle of the woods.

They weren’t legal though

If I worked at one of these companies the temptation would be too much. You could really havefun redirecting people..

I've been to a few casinos and wished I was in the middle of the woods.

My wife and I were using WAZE to get to Sam's Club in Ft. Worth (about 50 miles away). Amy took us into a seedy section of FW near White Settlement, down a back street and proudly proclaimed, "You have arrived at your destination." I think she was setting us up to be mugged.
