Man v. Machine

It seems that I'm not the only one who tries to beat the sat nav system. The UK's Metro reports that 40% of people surveyed in Britain try to better the travel times predicted by their satellite navigation systems.

I guess it's just human nature. People look at the estimated arrival time and view it as a challenge. They want to prove to themselves that they're smarter than the machine.

By the way, I usually win.
