Double Tech Fail

By Gldmeier @gldmeier
Two major tech fails just happened
1. for the first time, after nearly two million miles of test driving, a Google driverless car got into the first car crash that it was the fault and cause of. Thank God nobody in the Google car was hurt :-)
2. It turns out that Waze directed the soldiers into Kalandiya last night that led to the dramatic IDF rescue mission to get them out before being lynched. (waze released a statement denying it was their fault, saying the soldiers went off-route)
Are those tech fails or specifically Google fails (as Google owns Waze)?  As tech takes over our lives more and more, is this a sign we shouldn't give up our independence so quickly and rely so much on tech or are they just flukes? Statistically the number is probably minuscule relative to how many times tech has saved people and/or improved their lives...
