2025 Ford Snitch

Ford better go ahead and trademark Ford Rat and Ford Statist as well.

Future Fords might detect speeding and report you to the cops

Angering potential customers is not a good business model.

It’s been a long time since Ford had a good business model.

Billions lost on their crappy EVs that no one wants, and **** tier quality on the rest of their models. If nothing changes, I’ll be surprised if they are still in business in 10 years.

Lol….

 

[indyartisan]

Maybe Ford should go back to manufacturing the Model T if they want their cars to go slower.

 

[bgcatty]

They will soon be: Found On Road Dead!
With this stuff, they deserve to flame out!

 

[Ingomike]

Who would have thought that the very purveyors of the freedom machines, a concept still marketed, would actively work to shackle them?

I did. When they backed down to California regs on cars in the 70’s.

 

[Ingomike]

The masses will not care. They are impatiently awaiting the arrival of fully self driving cars so they can 100% screen time. They don’t care about what was one of the biggest milestones in our lives.

I am in an online group where you need to be a dealership owner, GM, sales manger, sales or service manager to be in. The guys with Ford are begging dealerships to take Mach IIIs, and Lightenings. They are offering to cover all shipping cost and even including regular gas cars thrown in as an incentive. To be fair all dealerships are having a hard time moving their EV's, but Ford seems to be having the toughest time.

EV's go with 15 minute cities and gubmint control. No thank you.

I still like Mustangs with real engines not motors.

I don't KNOW anything but

I wonder if this is aimed at Fleet Customers for liability? in other words a portion of their customers WANTs this?

GPS already gives this ability and you keep it in-house.

I are not always the smartest person in the room....

Would not that prove Ford's traditional, loyal, multi-generational customer base wants gasoline and diesel engines, therefore, further evidence they need to move off said model (no matter what the government wants)?

Thank you for not focussing on the softball That must be why you are a mod

From the patent, it's clear this is aimed at being installed *in police vehicles* but that's not interesting so no media outlet reports it. Never listen to the media. Always go to the primary source.

https://patents.justia.com/patent/20240239352 for anyone interested.

The patent would cover any vehicle, because that's how patents work, but actually read the examples and use case scenarios. Unless we think civilian cars are utilizing pursuit recording after identifying a speeding vehicle and alerting other vehicles in the area as to speed, location, etc...

Also published the same day was a patent for launching and retrieving drones from a vehicle by an operator in the interior of the vehicle.

Be Gone! Destroyer of myth and angst! Be gone, I say!



I usually like to to the same, but I had other things to attend to.

Wouldn't it be neat if all the people who say they don't trust the media would stop trusting the media?

Good reason to not buy a ford or their stock

Do you want one that reports you for 56 in a 55?
