If you’re concerned about the increasing power that technology has in modern vehicles, take a look at MotorAuthority.com’s story that Canada is testing a GPS enabled automatic brake system that will automatically keep you from speeding.

I checked the website and started reading about how great the plug was – most of the comments were good, while a few said that they couldn
