Ford Global Technologies, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, has filed a patent for new “systems and methods to repossess a vehicle,” including potentially locking certain features after missed payments.

a system in which a vehicle computer could be used to “disable functionality of a component of the vehicle or may place the vehicle in a lockout condition.”

In some cases, the vehicle can be a semi-autonomous vehicle and the repossession system computer may cooperate with the vehicle computer in the semi-autonomous vehicle to autonomously move the vehicle from a first spot to a second spot that is more convenient for a tow truck to tow the vehicle. The first spot may, for example, be located inside the property line of the owner and the second spot may be outside the property line .

That’s a top sales feature should impress car rental companies.

Ford is junk anyway. Toyota, Nissan or Honda only way to go.

Bring a shovel all your getting is ash

That means the next plandemic or say maybe a civil war starts the government will tell Ford to lock all their vehicles..CONTROL BOYCOTTFORD

So if you are at a park in let's say Arizona and you just buckled all your little kids in and they lock the vehicle at that moment, then what Boycottford

They won't have to worry about repossessions when they go out of business. Who the hell is going to buy a car that bricks if you're a day late on your payment?

You watch if Ford does this. People will then trash the car. In the Blue Cities especially where there is no punishment for Crime. They will likely not even lose their Credit.

There will be a aftermarket tune to fix this

They did that in the movie The fifth element, Just don't buy Ford, I don't

Like they couldn't just used the disable feature currently installed on new cares under the guise of auto theft protection.

As if I needed another reason to never buy another FORD, an acronym for Found On Road Dead, also Fix Or Repair Daily.

They’ll have a tough time getting a patent. This tech has been deployed for over a decade in the buy here pay here used car market.

Looks like thy really want to go out of business

Now they need to work on battery patents instead of paying for them to China.

Isn't it racist to want to get paid? Pretty sure it is in 2023.

🖕Ford

Coming soon: hackers will lock you out of your car until you pay them.

Funny people like to buy “smart” things - like a smart fridge, or an electric car or this new one right here. Nope. We’ll stick with our conventional cars and fridge, etc., and our life. Thank you very much.
