I wonder if they'll get this rollout right?....I'm imagining this will put the repo man out of business.

Guess should of seen that coming at some point with the connectivity these new vehicles have.

Since Tesla can’t even make a fully autonomous car at this point I would say it is a long ways away. What can be done right now with the over the air technology is to brick the vehicle at a known location so it can be towed away.

Don't equate people who work at home and don't need to drive lol. Two of my vehicles are race cars basically lol

Looks like another way to steal a car.

Yeah you're good enough hacker you could just steal the car and have it come pick you up instead of heading to the junkyard. Remote theft that'd be pretty neat.

This will probably go real well when some idiot leaves their newborn in the car seat and runs into the convenience store and Ford drives their car away and basically kidnaps their child in the process.

Just think it's funny all of you think you own it NOW.

That would be classified as one of those software edge cases.

We will finally get a country music song about a truck leaving a guy

The question is: Do you shoot at your own Bronco as it's driving away?

In before the thread title adds [warning no politics].

Can you switch it off with Forscan?
