Thought this was interesting... POTSDAM, Germany (AP) - A German couple out for a Christmas drive ended up in a river, apparently because their luxury car's computer forgot to mention they had to wait for a ferry. The driver and his passenger were not injured in the accident, police said Saturday. Several companies sell computer navigators, some which are attached to dashboards and serve as electronic road maps. Some offer traffic updates and Internet connections. The German couple was driving Friday night when they came to a ferry crossing at the Havel River in Caputh. That information was never stored in the satellite-steered navigation system they were using. The driver kept going straight in the dark, expecting a bridge, and ended up in the water.
