Yes it very literally is.

I just told you how you misunderstood what I expected and you still insist on understanding me. That's funny.

Google is providing guidance, sure, but the driver, by virtue of being present, having eyes and a brain, and controlling the fucking vehicle is the one responsible for where the vehicle goes.

There's not just one person responsible for this. Driver, municipality, Google are all responsible in different amounts.

Google's guidance is nothing more than them saying, "Based on our data, this is the route we think you should take."

Yeah and they're responsible for giving bad guidance, same as the municipality is responsible for not closing down the route and the driver for mistakes they made.

That you think Google shoulders blame in this is actually kind of a sad commentary on how some of society views personal responsibility.

You completely misunderstood me. I take part of the responsibility (lol) for it.
