Technology in a car can do one of two things.  Technological innovations that improve a car’s safety, maneuverability, and ability to predict and react to danger decrease the likelihood that the car will be in an accident and minimize the threat to its passengers if it is.  Technological innovations that can distract the driver – such as social media plugins and entertainment features – increase the risk of a crash. Mechanical safety features are already figured into the math that insurers use to define premiums, since those features influence the risk associated with insuring a particular…

There is no longer a need to argue that governments, the US government in particular, have been attempting to gain information about individuals through official requests to internet companies such as Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
