Almost all of us are using the Global Positioning System (GPS) and Google Maps to find the exact location of our destination which we are not familiar with. It is a great tool as it helps us to reach the places we are unaware of. It is interactive and mostly accurate. Sometimes it might confuse us a bit given that it is a machine and machines are not perfect.
This is what was exhibited when a female tourist drove her car into the sea at Hawaii’s Honokohau Harbor while following GPS directions.
The video of the incident has gone viral on social media as it shows people jumping into the water to rescue two women from the partially submerged car.
