Ford could put all their R&D money into developing low-cost EVs, but they’d prefer to give the cops a handout.

Great, investors have a target to short sell in the car industry based on Fords bad product development

This idea seems like what someone would come up with if they’re devoid from the reality of driving and have only been chauffeured around lol

Texas_Hangover ,

Yet another reason I will never own a ford vehicle.

If my car is going to be a snitch, I want a share of that fat ticket money. ;)

Pay me or GTFO.

RagingRobot ,

Maybe they are patenting this just so that no one else can make it! Because they are generous kind hearted people, right? Right?.. Omg :(

bane_killgrind ,

Nope it just takes one jurisdiction to mandate a reporting system is used and then they have a captive market.

Zaktor ,

If they program in an exception to not report other Fords it could become a competitive advantage.

when are we gonna have biomedical devices that directly send their test results to health insurance companies? I feel like we are missing this for a perfect Dystopia

TheEighthDoctor ,

They could make a system that doesn’t allow the vehicle to speed but I guess allowing it and then snitching is better

Zaktor ,

You should probably read articles before commenting. The cars aren’t reporting themselves.

bradorsomething ,

Noted: driving 3 mph under the speed limit in front of all fords from now on.

fubarx ,

GM will be patenting LED windshields showing the middle-finger and blurring the license plate every time a Ford passes by.

Edit: I’m wrong, now I diverted rtfa. it’s a camera system to detect other cars. My bad.

I don’t understand your comment. GM own ford, right? And the data they are trying to share comes from the car itself, not other cars around it.

No, GM owns Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac.

Ensign_Crab ,

I see Ford wants to produce only cop cars.

UsernameIsTooLon ,

Good. F150 drivers need to get off my ass when I’m already 10 over on local roads. I ain’t ever buying a Ford so fuck em.

WarlordSdocy ,

This only reports other drivers around the Ford speeding so what would happen is they would still do that and you would get in trouble for going 10 over.

The all new Ford Narc 2024, with optional stitches.

Snapz ,

And then selling a subscription to turn it off

Mihies ,

Ha, you would think so, but from article it seems it’d sneetch only on other vehicles. Now, a subscription for reporting a certain ‘enemy’ vehicle could be way to go.

lauha ,

“Sir, your Ford sent half an hour long video of this truck going 85 mph on 65 mph road. I would think you understand why you also got a ticket?”

800XL ,

Surprised it took this long. Well, guess that means it’s time to faraday cage the 5g radios in the vehicles or find a way to create a super small jammer that can only broadcast in your car. Some sort of license plate blocker that only shows at a certain angle too.

Fuck that shit.

Reverendender ,

You can get the license plate thingies on eBay
