 Satnav Related Road Deaths. - Bromptonaut
The Milton Keynes Coroner has published a 'Prevention of Future Deaths' report following an accident on the A5 near Little Brickhill:

www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Tracey-Haybittle-Prevention-of-Future-Deaths-Report-2024-0469.pdf

A driver died on the A5 after a car entering it mistakenly via an off slip collided head on with a car on the A5. Both drivers died, one at the scene the other in hospital in Oxford. Issue seems to be with a driver following voice commands and turning too soon. If the visual prompts on screen are followed it's pretty clear where to go; less so on vox.

Other incidents have occurred before..

I don't suppose the responses from Google etc will be published but they would be interesting.
