This has got to be a case of a preventative patent and not something that'll actually see production. Like, there's just no way the people at Ford are dumb enough to look at this and unironically think it's a good idea. They'd probably lose a quarter of their customer base if they start rolling it out.
My guess would be they’re just playing it smart, waiting for the dystopian required implementation of the systems in all cars in the future.
Watch governments implement this requirement, then ford makes $$$ selling the rights to everyone else
Imagine how handy this would be in generating reasons to pull people over, if a certain fascist regains power
Yeah there's no point in spending the money on R&D and manufacturing just togive info to an outside party. This is either preventative like you say, or they plan to offer a subscription service to local PD's at a price
That would be interesting. Also, we need more of that.
