Ford Global Technologies, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, has filed a patent for new “systems and methods to repossess a vehicle,” including potentially locking certain features after missed payments. The application describes implementations, such as disabling “a remote key fob, and an automated door lock/unlock system,” using the stereo to “emit an incessant and unpleasant sound,” and even using self-driving technology to cause the vehicle to move to a place where it could be retrieved by the creditor.
