There are any number of reasons the traffic server might return a redirect. For example, suppose the main traffic server is overloaded and wants to offload the processing of this request to another server (say in a different datacenter) temporarily. Even though the in-car navigation unit has a user interface, it's definitely wrong to make the user confirm this redirect. The user is busy driving!
