Church Street Church Street

[SucreTease]

Whenever navigation has directed me to a street called “Church Street”, the voice direction will read the direction as “Church Street Church Street”, such as “Turn right on Church Street Church Street”. This is not a local problem, as this exact same behavior has occurred in three different cities.

Has anyone else encountered this bug?

Sounds like the atheists at Tesla are messing with you messing with you.

Funny you mention this, as I’ve had the same issue in Gilroy, CA with Church Street Church Street being announced.

I get "Church st Church st" in Rancho Cucamonga too! Maybe we are meant to drive along it twice?

As a software engineer, myself, I cannot imagine what could possibly cause a duplicate reading of the name of one specific street everywhere!!

Same thing in MA

Probably an easter egg and there's a literary reference to something

As my boss always says, "If it's free, we'll take two."

I live on a Church St and get the same thing too. Nice to know I'll never forget the street I live on being told twice.

I would really like to know if this is true. The only explanation I can come up with for this "bug" is that it was an intentional feature. I did searches on Google and Google Ngram for both current and literary references, but came up with nuttin'.

There are serval streets navigation mispronounces. Try Capshaw in Harvest.

Mispronunciations are quite common among all GPS systems, because human beings are not even consistent in how they pronounce words locally. But the issue I am raising is not a mispronunciation, but something deeper and more nefarious

I doubt AI is trying to guess how to pronounce. For common words am pretty sure they have a lookup table for pronunciation.

“Capshaw” gets mispronounced with an “R”. “Pulaski” sounds like an AI is guessing.

Well, I had some relatives that lived on ShipMaster Drive. It is pronounced not so nicely.

Looks like Apple Maps has this "feature" as well, here's a Reddit post from 2018 about it.

Great find! But this only deepens the mystery, because now two completely independent navigation systems show the same bizarre behavior.

I searched Google and Google Ngram (to see if it showed up somewhere in literature; thinking that it might be a literary Easter egg). Somehow I missed the Reddit thread, which I now see shows up when searching Google.

I haven't encountered the repeating Church Street issue, but I may check it out as a destination soon as I have one near me, but I Do find that it misreads "Pass" as "PATH" on a regular basis. There are a few streets in my area that are XXXXX Pass, and NAV pronounces them all as "XXXXX Path"

Maybe it's just Tesla quirkiness at work??
