  I can see them having occupancy sensors after the first lawsuit, but before then I’m not so sure. Collecting your belongings from the dealer could also be problematic; you no longer have a car, and the dealer could be a significant distance away. It’d be even worse if you happen to have driven the car far from home and no longer have a way to get back.

  I suspect, and hope, they only patented it so they were tge ones with the patent, not to actually implement it.

  Thanks, that made me laugh enough to wake the cat. :)

  I can see certain benefits, but as the parent poster mentions, what happens if there’s a child on the car, or, indeed, you’ve left something else important in it when it drives off. Surely it’s better for it just not to start, and keep a human in the loop for returning it.

  Ford has already patented the concept of a car repossesing itself if you fall behind on payments.
