Well it all started with the war...Nuclear Submarines would navigate underwater but when surfaced would get lost. Not much point of having a lost weapon so they launched Global Positioning Satelites hence GPS. Now there are about 14 satelites doing this. They give you can accurate position within 10 metres. They also used this technique to build the tallest longest sky bridge in France.

The airbag was originally used in space to cushion the landing of spacecraft on Mars. The airbag system wrapped around the spacecraft and inflated upon impact to absorb the shock and protect the payload during landing. This technology was first used on the Mars Pathfinder mission in 1997.
The United States developed the first reusable space vehicle, the Space Shuttle, in the 1980s. It was a revolutionary spacecraft that could carry astronauts and cargo into space and return to Earth to be used again for future missions.
Activated charcoal canisters were originally used on the space station Skylab to detect toxic vapors. These canisters would change color if they came into contact with toxic vapors, alerting the astronauts to potential dangers.
On the moon they used the 'space buggy', but to get off it they used apollo 11
GPS vehicle tracking system is most used by police. You can read more about GPS at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_tracking_unit
Yes vehicle tracking devices can be used on your vehicle without your knowledge. If you find this to be the case and it was not put there by the police it is illegal.

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) technology is used in vehicle tracking systems to transmit data from the tracking device in the vehicle to the monitoring center or server. It enables real-time monitoring and tracking of the vehicle's location, speed, and other important data. GSM also allows for two-way communication between the tracking system and the user, enabling features like remote immobilization or engine shut-off in case of theft.
Vehicle Tracking Systems have a unique feature,it is close to impossible to abuse an installed GPS system. The features can provide information about the entire fleet of vehicles and therefore an tamper proof feature is a desired feature.
Satellite tracking devices are best used to locate vehicles in real time. This technology can be useful to companies for tracking shipments. Satellite tracking device can also be useful if you have it installed in your vehicle and your vehicle is stolen. The following website offers some detail as to how this technology works, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracking_device
Currently... Space Shuttles and a Space Station which is not a vehicle per se.
