GA Autothrottle?

Guys,

I've been trawling the net to see if there's such thing as an autothrottle for GA prop aircraft? From what I know it's rare or nonexistent, propably because of the narrow speed range, but is there anything to prevent one being developed?

Surely as GA FADEC/HITS/AGATE becomes more popular it would integrate nicely with the rest, reducing IFR workload?

PS: What about a max G/Vne sensor to pop the airbrakes and retard? And a max alpha sonsor to drop the flaps and increase power?
