So we boarded the ferry, which was a barge that could hold 3 cars, pushed back and forth across the river by a tugboat. Some "bridge".

At least the GPS didn't take control of the car and drive it into the river. There was a Doctor Who episode where someone was killed that way...
What if this had happened before the advent of GPS? Who or what would be to blame? *dundun...dunnnnnnnnnn....*
