I'd never have one of those things. I knew a lady once who had a GPS on her very expensive SUV. The GPS was telling her it was clear to back up out of a parking space. DUH! There was a car in back of her and she hit it. How could someone not look and rely on a machine to tell you what to do?

No, that's a level of stress beyond stock market trading, I expect.
