Ford patents tech to allow vehicles to auto-repossess

Cool tech, Bro, but maybe work on the tech that builds them and delivers them before the tech that takes them back.

You lost me at "BRO"...

"A new patent allows Ford to build cars that take action if the owner falls behind on payments by playing annoying sounds – or even driving themselves back to the seller"

Is that what those rattles and squeaks are? I better call my bank.

Some advancements are cool. This is frightening

It could also drive the car to the scrapper if the value and condition costs are too much.

Not frightening for what it states is the intended purpose. If you don't pay, you shouldn't get to keep it

But, for the unintended problems that arise

With all of the "advancements" in auto technology, it now takes weeks to get a vehicle in for diagnosis and weeks/months to get repaired.

With all of the vehicular tech issues today, adding more seems like a bad idea.
