… the better to spam you with advertising.

Ford Motor Company is seeking a patent for technology that would allow it to tailor in-car advertising by listening to conversations among vehicle occupants, as well as by analyzing a car’s historical location and other data, according to a patent application published late last month. “In one example, the controller may monitor user dialogue to detect when individuals are in a conversation,” the patent application says. “The conversations can be parsed for keywords or phrases that may indicate where the occupants are traveling to.” The tech — labeled as “in-vehicle advertisement presentation” — will determine where a car is located, how fast it is traveling, what type of road it is driving on and whether it is in traffic. It also will predict routes, speeds and destinations to customize ads to drivers, the application said.

Anyone really believe that’s all it will be listening for?

They don’t really need to listen. They know to play lgbt and kamala ads if you pick a ford instead of a Chevy

The market for “classic” cars is going to rise. I’m also certain that any attempts to disable the listening device will immediately void your warranty.

I'm convinced all smart devices do it 24/7 anyway, so what's the difference? At bare minimum, they are monitoring and logging every keystroke.

So are they responsible and liable if the customized ads somehow offend me?

I want my piece of the money that Ford is selling about me without my consent.

100% guarantee the check engine light comes on the second this "feature" malfunctions

In-vehicle advertisement? Who in the hell asked for that?

frick Ford and all those car people.
Give me a car that is well built and runs. The technology shite is being done by some sustainability grunt struggling to justify their employment. I don’t even want the self driving shite because I do t trust other drivers.

Exactly. At this point, just video record everything. Much higher percentage of me needing the recording from something bad that happened vs catching me doing something dumb

I need to get an old school car that has zero technology in it.

Well, if you live in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or any other Democrat-scum run city you’ll be arrested on the spot for illegally spying on these poor “undocumented victims."

Does Ford make black helicopters?

Pickup trucks peaked in the 90’s.
Prove me wrong.
