Ford Motors applies for a pretty unique patent for those who don't pay up

Imagine you’re running behind on car payments and your vehicle disables its AC, locks you out, and eventually, drives away on its own. Ford Motor Co. applied for a patent last month that would use future car technology to do just that.

This was an interesting topic a month ago.

Wasn’t planning on buying a brand new vehicle anyway, but it definitely won’t be a Ford (I have no trouble paying my bills, but I don’t like that type of overreach)

Everything is racist. Even manicured yards. I read an article making that claim.

Lol. So it’s overreach for a company to take a car back from not paying your note?
It’s prob signed off on in the paperwork anyway.

What if I pay cash

I've installed a hidden kill switch inside all of my cars to turn off the fuel pump. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to do the EV equivalent of that.

It’s over reach for Ford to have that much control over a vehicle. Also what if the system malfunctions and leaves you stranded.

Sounds like they are trying to pivot to a subscription service rather than selling vehicles. Gotta keep Americans making those $1000/mo payments forever baw

LoL... Well THAT isn't a selling point that will nudge potential buyers in favor of buying a Ford.

So you’re in favor of responsible people just eating it while others don’t pay bills?

Just wait until you make a tweet that the alphabet people don't like. You'll be locked out of your bank account as well as your car.

poor people are very upset with this

Plot twist: It breaks down before it reaches the end of your driveway.
