How are you doing on your car payments? Ford is working on putting software in their cars that will allow them to repossess themselves. Apparently, people not making their payments has gotten so bad, that Ford has put millions of dollars into R and D so that they can take control of the car and get it to drive itself back to the dealer or wherever.
It gets better. They’ll also be able to make it so you can only drive the vehicle to certain areas. Or, they’ll tell the car to use the sound system to make loud, annoying noises if anyone tries to drive it. They’ll also be able to disable your air conditioning and any number of other things. It’s all listed on the patent they filed in 2021 and was recently published.
Who pays if it crashes on the way back to the dealer? What if there are still people in the car when it does the self repo thing? Someone is going to freak out and think they’re inside a Transformer. Actually, this would be pretty hilarious if people were parked in the vehicle at make out point.
