Ford's technology system aims to disable the basic functionality of vehicles, so that defaulting drivers are unable to travel with the car
We don't have many flying vehicles yet, but now we will have vehicles that walk by themselves! That's right, after the STF (Federal Supreme Court) determined that delinquent drivers can lose their driver's license and their passport if they are caught driving, Ford is developing a technology that allows cars to prevent their owners from driving if they have any pending issues, according to auto sport.
The technology that was patented by Ford on February 23 of this year, can be installed in any vehicle that has internet and data connection, since its objective is to deactivate the basic functionalities of the vehicle, that is, the technology can deactivate the engine to lock the doors and also the air conditioning.
Therefore, with this technology, it would be enough for the owner not to pay for the vehicle or also lose his license for example, so that the automaker could control your vehicle's system remotely, deactivating its basic functions, preventing the driver from moving forward with the car.
- Subaru Legacy is the perfect car for those looking for power and comfort! Equipped with a 3.6L engine, this model reaches 240 km/h, its average consumption is 9,6 km/l, in addition to having a giant trunk of 506 liters.
- Toyota GR86 is reborn with a new engine inspired by the Yaris GR: more than 300 horsepower and hybrid technology promise surreal performance!

At first, the technology would gradually deactivate the vehicle's features, starting with the speed control and air conditioning and, shortly thereafter, deactivating the vehicle's engine, making the driver unable to unlock it.
How does Ford technology work?
This technology developed by Ford would only be possible in vehicles that have an internet connection and that can update the system remotely.
In the case of cars with autonomous driving, in the case of repossession for some reason, this would happen with the vehicle leaving the driver's house in default and proceeding to a place that could be safely towed. Ford claims that vehicles can go to the bank yard or also to a Ford dealership.
If the bank no longer wants the vehicle, whether because of the low value or for some other reason, the technology can program the vehicle to be taken to a junkyard or an auction yard, for example, taking the bank out of the bureaucratic process. .
In addition, Ford claims that the technology will also have an emergency mode that can be activated if the defaulting driver needs to use the vehicle to go to the hospital or also if someone is trapped inside it. For this, the automaker claims that the cameras and sensors present in the vehicle can identify emergencies.
