Doesn’t sound like google’s fault, does it?

The article even mentions that other entities are sued but oh that sweet headline.

Yeah, suing google makes as much sense as suing the car maker for not making the car fly.

The bridge was broken years though, so Google should not have been using it for routes. The country is definitely at fault for not having signs up, but Google isn’t blameless in this.
