"If the owner still skips payments, the car could lock them out and drive itself to a repo agency or even a scrapyard."

Hmmm... giving a corporation the ability to lock you out of your property AT ANY TIME if - for any reason - they decide you haven't kept up on your payments.

...

Yup...I can't see ANYTHING that could go wrong with this. 🙄

Ford wants to allow your car to lock you out — and even drive itself to an impound lot or scrapyard — if you miss payments

The car would first lose the use of features like GPS and A/C. As a last resort, it could lock the driver out and drive itself away for repossession.

@PadreSJ Sure, maybe if when Ford realizes there’s an error, it automatically drives the car back to you, and maybe makes a stop at a liquor store on the way to pick up an “I’m sorry” bottle of wine.
