    It won’t work. It will just lower the barrier to entry. I don’t disagree that this is their angle, it’s just… Short sighted.

      I wish you were right. If I thought there was an actual shot at Google suffering consequences for bullshit like this, I’d short the stock. In reality, they’ll somehow be up. They’ll launch some stupid new thing and this will be completely forgotten. It’s bad enough that every time Maps updates, it resets my customization to avoid tolls. I live in NoVA. These tolls are absolute fucking bullshit and I ain’t paying it.

        Not finding this to be a problem personally. Having lived in multiple areas with tolls.

        I would too, except the hard part isn’t predicting whether there will be consequences, it’s predicting when.
