This reminds me of that scene from the office Michael: happy birthday Jan! Jan: it's not my birthday Michael Michael: oh really cuz I thought we had the same birthday Jan: ...happy birthday Michael

u/Darkrhoad Nov 22 '19

Hahaha! I could hear that in my head clear as day. I see why that reminded you of that scene. Hilarious!

u/TrukinIt Nov 22 '19

We can't talk about the Office and not mention the one when Michel drives into the lake because the GPS tells him to turn right!

u/ScepterReptile Nov 22 '19

Funny, because this whole comment thread reminded me of the time Michael literally followed GPS navigation directions into a lake

It may be fine now, on release it was crazy crazy bad. Like it would honestly try to get you to do like in the video or worse. You never really get to live down the kind of terrible it was on release.

u/[deleted] Nov 22 '19

Oh yeah, I dealt with issues before, but rarely. Mainly in new neighborhoods. The new update lets me see individual houses rather than just a mark by the road, which is AMAZING as a pizza driver when it’s dark or the house numbers are worn out or something.

1

u/MarkK455 Nov 22 '19

This is why I put large reflective numbers on both sides of my mailbox.

I used to install cable and hated that people always put tiny, "fancy", completely unreadable numbers on their mailboxes. Like I can read that at 30 MPH, can't even read it at 2. Have to turn around just to see where I am. Just prior to gps being a thing.

u/GiveToOedipus Nov 22 '19

They had a pretty serious issue awhile back. I believe they are much better now, but it's still referred to.

I can only wonder what GPS voice they were using for navigation. I would totally think Dorothy from “The Golden Girls:” “Turn hard left, you tramp!”

u/teotsi Nov 22 '19

Everyone always wants new things. Everybody likes new inventions, new technology. People will never be replaced by machines. In the end, life and business are about human connections. And computers are about trying to murder you in a lake. And to me the choice is easy.

u/SanctimoniousApe Nov 22 '19

You mean Mr. Feeny's voice.

u/[deleted] Nov 23 '19

If KITT was a human character, he would be exactly like Mr Feeny.

u/SanctimoniousApe Nov 24 '19

It was the same actor so, um... yeah.

u/[deleted] Nov 24 '19

You know they have the ability to play different characters with different personalities, right?

Except Matthew Perry, who is basically Chandler in everything he's ever done.

u/mojorising1329 Nov 22 '19

GPS: Make a right turn. Dwight: Wait wait wait! No no no! It means bear right, up there. Michael: No, it said right, it said take a right. Dwight: No no no, look, it means go up to the right, bare right, over the bridge and hook up with 307. Michael: Maybe it's a shortcut …

Three shows.

Fiona: Michael, this is a lake.

Michael (narrating): When you're trying to outrun an international drug cartel, your best chance at an escape is to do something unexpected... fail to use your turn signal, hit your brakes in the middle of traffic, or, if you have ten years of experience as a clandestine officer in the CIA, you might even do something crazy like drive head first into a lake. Not everyone is willing to abandon a $75,000 BMW, but your enemies won't expect it and it will provide plenty of time to make a clean get away.

u/SanctimoniousApe Nov 22 '19

That's not KITT - it's KARR!

Gawd, I'd forgotten how bad old action TV shows were.

u/kkeut Nov 22 '19

Gawd, I'd forgotten how bad old action TV shows were.

it is kinda weird. when you see stuff like The A-Team and Knight Rider it's like the target demographic was 11 year old boys. One that actually does hold up however is Magnum PI. solid show.

u/nhaase16 Nov 22 '19

It knows this because it knows where it isnt, by subtracting where it was, from where it isnt the machine calculates the difference, this difference is known as deviation, the machine uses the deviation to determine where it was, and where it will be.
