A recent glitch in Google Maps misled German drivers by incorrectly displaying road closures, lasting a couple of hours. Google learned of the issue through user reports and removed incorrect stop signs promptly. According to a company spokesperson, Google Maps relies on user input, public information, and third-party data. This incident follows another occurrence of misrepresented road conditions earlier this month, which prompted advice for drivers to consult multiple traffic sources due to potential traffic issues, possibly compounded by holiday traffic forecasts and updates from Google's AI features.
