When determining that fastest route it should look at the number of stop signs, intersections and traffic lights. It will see that route A is a straight shot while route B is not. However it will fail to recognize that route A is a city street and route B is a highway. uggh. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alex]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 21st 2008 11:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Driver puts faith in GPS, shears off top of charter bus on bridge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/driver-puts-faith-in-gps-sheers-off-top-of-charter-bus-on-bridg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/driver-puts-faith-in-gps-sheers-off-top-of-charter-bus-on-bridg/</guid><description><![CDATA[As someone who has a commercial drivers license, where I am confused is the sign says 9 feet.

So you'd have to trust the GPS, ignore your knowledge that the bus is over 9 feet, AND ignore the blinking lights over the sign that's labeled "Over-height Warning". That's just stupidity. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 18th 2008 8:13PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Driver puts faith in GPS, shears off top of charter bus on bridge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/driver-puts-faith-in-gps-sheers-off-top-of-charter-bus-on-bridg/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/18/driver-puts-faith-in-gps-sheers-off-top-of-charter-bus-on-bridg/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wow!
