Yet we've managed to create Google Maps such that you can ask it for the shortest route from A to B and it never makes errors of this sort.
Yes, point taken, but Google Maps is optimizing over a pretty narrow domain. It seems to me that an application that optimized across several domains at once (physics, biology, psychology, economics) might be more dangerous, while being not much more complicated internally than Google Maps or Google Translate.
It will also frequently map across a ferry that will run in two months after the ice melts, because its "planning" isn't dynamic to any significant degree.
