A patent has been filed for self-driving technology that enables the vehicle to return by itself after the vehicle is sold and the user pays the installment payment.

To start with, it’s a technology that enables additional functions of the vehicle to be stopped and pressed by handheld remote control, and eventually retrieved. If the automotive is not price salvaging, it’s even taken to a junk yard by itself.

A variety of foreign media outlets, including Business Today, reported on the fifth (local time) that Ford filed a patent application for a ‘system and method for recovering vehicles’ with the US Patent Office last month.

The patent states that if the owner is in arrears in installment payments, the corporate remotely controls functions resembling air conditioners and radios, causes noise within the stereo, and interferes with use by refusing to unlock the door.

Lastly, the self-driving automotive itself went into the recovery process. In situations where fully autonomous driving is difficult, it moves to the sting of a road where it is simple to tow, and the automotive reports to the police.

If the lender decides the automotive is not price salvaging, you possibly can drive yourself to the junkyard.

Ford said, “Patent application doesn’t necessarily indicate a recent business or product plan,” and “there isn’t a plan to implement it,” however the handheld remote control of a personally owned vehicle by the manufacturer itself is controversial.

Business Today identified in an article that patents like these are “connected automotive nightmare scenarios” that control where we go, what we do and the way we do it. Criticism was also raised that the indisputable fact that a tech giant devised a technique to attack consumers is itself concerned.
