They plan to charge you for extras that come with your car. Ford has some patented onboard technology that can make driving very uncomfortable. They have a patent to use systems in your car to deliver ads.
It’s called an In Vehicle Advertisement Presentation Systems and Methods. It uses destinations, where you are going, and how fast you drive to put the ads together. It plans to send audio ads while you are listening to music. If you go slow, it will send more ads, and it can tell if you like the ads by how hard you squeeze the steering wheel.
They will listen to you, and they might share the information if you use the screen that came with the car.
The patent doesn’t mean they will use it, but it’s probably an indication of where we are going.
and those idiots who want ‘self driving parking’ you should not be allowed to drive.

Well, the speakers are still made out of paper. All it takes is a wire coat hanger for even the most unknowledgeable person.
Worse that that. Ford sells driver behavior info to insurance carriers for any 2020 or newer vehicle.
No car will ever pitch an ad to me because I won’t buy it.
Not ONLY that if Ka-MAO-la wins, Big Brother will be talking to you as you drive.
All vehicles are hackable, due to thier employment of electronic entertainment and driver control features. So … All Cars are out! I got a Subaru that Locks the Breaks up when the Computer determins a Hazard in the Road. This was standard feature and I thought , well, who is paying for it because I do not want it! I… Read more »
Some auto maker could make a fortune if they started producing cars without all of the spying and control equipment on them. There is a HUGE market out there for them and they would be a lot cheaper to produce too. But of course the damned government would harass the hell out of them.
Agree. I do not trust any of that equipment from a safety perspective. I know these sonar equipped features misfire! I had the car slam the brakes on for No Reason, Whatsoever, on the Highway! I was Shook; because thats one hell of a thing to have happen when youre Driving. I learned how to disable it; but that cannot… Read more »
Its now cheaper to buy a restored classic car than to buy a new car. And with a Holley EFI installed, it will start and run as good as any new car.
True.
I agree. I look and look for a classic old ‘grandma’ car and they are not
out there or just impossible to find! My pop use to bring a used car or
truck home every few months and sell the other ones. I’ve driven just
about every car truck model made. He made me love older cars!
Incredibly dangerous for real! I read many complaints of people who were in terrible accidents caused by this technology. Now, my contention is that I know dealerships (car industry) are so afraid of lawsuits that they never would have allowed this technology “without some serious government pushing and funding;” because it is too Dangerous! I could not believe the technology… Read more »
Dont Care, I type too fast and do not proof read. Grade School was 3 decades ago! I know it`s brakes. Typos happen. People who only write one sentence “quips” should focus on content; because content is more important and if a typo distracts you, you have larger problems.
