GPS systems are trusted by default—until they send trucks where they don’t belong. This episode explores how AI routing software can prioritize efficiency over lived reality, directing drivers onto unsafe roads, low bridges, or hostile terrain. When something goes wrong, accountability dissolves into code, contracts, and silence. We examine the responsibility gap, the pressure to comply, and what it costs when human judgment is quietly replaced by algorithmic authority.
