It is also permissible to not permit the driver to enter the vehicle.
Ford has developed a method for retaliating for missed payments on loans or leases. The authors of the patent claim that such a system might be installed in all Ford cars in the future.
In the event of delay, the aim of the system is to make it more difficult to own and drive a car. Here's how it is suggested to do it:
Disabling non-essential features like cruise control, power windows, and an entertainment system. Having a jarring experience while the driver is in the car. Locking the doors, making it impossible to use the vehicle (but only on weekends and unless there is an emergency).
A car with an autopilot capability may learn to steer away from a late owner. The car will need to be picked up at a company location, such as a property seizure center.
Ford has yet to reveal whether or not it would install such a system on its vehicles.
