Had this happen in Denver one year while traveling through. Traveling north on I-25 it dumped me out in a downtown street along with a bunch of others and then back on the interstate 30 MINUTES LATER. Would’ve taken 5 min staying on dammed I-25. No accidents or congestion it was avoiding according to it, Apple Maps, and Waze.

Iirc Waze is owned by Google now.

True but luckily they are still allowed to do their thing - for now, anyway.
Don’t mess with Waze, and copy all the cool stuff into Maps. Please.

My conspiracy theory is that companies will soon pay Google to redirect traffic past their businesses within an acceptable delay. For example, as long as it’s not more than 1-2min delay, make sure they pass this KFC.

And most of us only care that the time estimate is accurate within about a minute anyway.
