Does the USPTO actually concern itself with wether or not there is prior case Le when approving patents?
Also, what are they actually patenting that isn’t already out there? Self driving feature already exists. Ability to remote access the car by 3rd party already exists. Would the fact that they can do both actually be a patentable feature?
They have the MPEP (manual) for these types of things that are updated with recent cases and give them guidelines. However, subject matter eligibility is very nebulous - even for veteran prosecution/litigators.
They do take in the prior art for consideration. You're making a 103 argument which is called obviousness (combining more than one reference/prior art). There are also guidelines for this. The Examiner will typically not grant the application on the first pass because of this and the applicant will try and argue something novel of the invention or amend the claims to make them more narrow.

Honestly, a post-it over the forward facing camera would probably be enough to prevent it.

Install a battery cutoff switch like 18 wheelers have, like $60 total.
Or just remove your red battery cable every time you park it somewhere. Defeated the new "tech"

Can you auto-repo a car that is broken down on the side of the road?

The issue is they want to recover it and this wouldn’t help. They want it to drive off private property so tow trucks can get it without going onto private property.
If owners disable battery that keeps it on private property and prevents tow trucks from getting it.
However, if Ford disengages the electronics then the past due owner can’t drive it ever until paid.

They already do. They've been killing OnStar cars remotely for years.

Surely if they can do this they can make the car drive to the dealership to get recalls fixed and email the owner they will be back in 30 days or less.

Take the wheels off it each night
Why? Just jack up the front and rear. No need to actually remove the wheels.

Ford did not take bailout money. They saw the apocalypse coming and took a multibillion dollar loan out just weeks before it crashed.

Alan Mulally, Ford CEO at the time averted the disaster and bail outs. However, Ford asked the Federal government for a 9 billion dollar line of credit just in case the economy got worsened.

Problem is:
Can't repossess it remotely if it don't run.

How's that different from a Ford that isn't being repossessed?
