"The Machine Knows". If you're a fan of the TV show "The Office" then you may remember when Steve Carell's character, Michael Scott, took his navigation's instructions too far and drove his car into a lake because that's what the "machine" told him to do.  Nobody could do something like that, right?  I mean if you can see the obstacle in front of you you're not going to keep going?  Apparently life imitated art last weekend for English Footballer Andre Wisdom (oh, the irony of his last name).  Click here , or the image above, and read for yourself.

2014 cayenne turbo s off-road
Like every Porsche, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is at home on the racetrack. And while the car's occupants enjoy a luxurious and stylish leather interior, the Cayenne Turbo S can also navigate the roughest off-road terrain - from 45 degree hill descents to steep and uneven side-slopes that would thwart any ordinary off-roader. To illustrate, watch as Gordon Robertson drives the Porsche on the handling and off-road circuits at the Porsche Experience Centre Silverstone.
