May 8th 2008 8:55PM many different spacecraft (from commercial satellites to the ISS) do use either momentum wheels or CMGs for attitude control. the safety concerns with large flywheels comes more from the momentum of the debris that flies away from the wheel when it is damaged. generally when one of these breaks, there's very little left still spinning afterwards.

Yamaha and Honda join 12 car makers in testing anti-collision technology {Autoblog}
Feb 26th 2008 8:37PM It's amazing how hard that is for most people to accomplish. Just today I was riding my motorcycle and a woman in an SUV tried merging into me. The most amazing part is most of my motorcycle was actually in front of her bumper - she didn't look over at all before merging!

Finally! GM to widely incorporate Bluetooth by 2009 {Autoblog}
Dec 18th 2007 7:17PM I'm not sure how many cars this is true for, but GM offers bluetooth as a dealer installed accessory on at least the Aveo for around $300. It would surprise me if this was not an accessory on many other models.
