Holy crap! I never even considered this, but it’s entirely possible for a lien holder to be given access to a self-driving car’s software for repossession.
Maybe we shouldn’t be giving them any ideas.
Well on the upside country music is about to get a whole new topic to sing about.
new country song about how you can take my wife, take my house, take my children, but don’t you dare take my emotional support truck
My truck dun gone left me
The mowers laughing at me
And now I walk
Because my truck could talk
And left me for a mazaritti.
Maybe don’t buy a f9000 when you live in suburbia. Maybe don’t unless you need it for your job…
Don’t worry, we didn’t give them the idea. Ford filed for a patent to do exactly this in 2021 and published it in 2023.
