Apparently the Canadian Goverment transportation is testing some new devices that make it difficult to depress the accelerator pedal on your car if you are exceeding the speed limit... the whole system is based on GPS and satelite technology. I can see the good in this (take speeders off the roads and increase safety) but I really don't relish the thought of something controlling my vehicle from space - I would rather keep the control over my own vehicle, thank you.
