In England, a four year old human girl died in a car accident last September. This is, in it self, not an odd tragedy. It has now been made public that the cause of the accident was that the girl's parents, who sat in the front of the car, trusted their satellite navigation unit too much. When the unit told them to turn right - thus crossing the line of the opposite traffic, since they drive on the left side of the roads in England - they did so, even though road signs said right turns where not allowed there. In the investigation, both parents said they did not see any road signs, though they are there. Their car was hit in the side, just at the rear side door where the girl was sitting.
It was too bad the parents trusted their satellite navigation unit too much. I am very sad for the girl. Luckily, though, no dogs were hurt.
