Google’s maps falsely told the drivers in Germany that roads throughout the country are closed

This chaos was followed on German roads this week after Google’s drivers’ maps informed that highways throughout the country were closed during a crowded vacation. Several closed roads appear near large German cities and urban areas, including Berlin, Dusseldorf and Dortmund.
