Future Fords will do these if you fail repayments - AUTOINDUSTRIYA.COM

Yes, Fords, in the future, will mind its business and remind you to pay your monthly amortizations should you stop payments for one reason or another. Don’t worry. The vehicle will not simply drive off and abandon you after you have missed your first month. The American automaker has programmed the system to be lenient.

If owners ignore multiple notices and messages, the system will initiate a series of actions under the ‘multi-step repossession procedure,’ which aims to irritate and infuriate the owner to comply.

The computer will begin by shutting down first-level features like radio, GPS navigation, and the climate control system. If that does not prompt owners to pay, the infotainment system will emit “an incessant and unpleasant sound every time the owner is present in the vehicle.”

The vehicle goes into ‘lockout’ mode if the owner still takes no action. It will only allow the owner to drive within a specific geo-locked radius (office or to pick up children at school) or only during weekdays.

The last resort is the vehicle either driving itself to a spot that will make it accessible to repo men (or women), a tow truck, or taking itself to the dealership.
