It's obviously tongue-in-cheek, I mean, the guys who developed this had to consciously put in the command to "swim across", and since I'm quite sure they very well know most cars can't quite swim (unless they all have amphibious vehicles at Google HQ), I see it as a witty answer to a stupid question.
