Ford have taken out patents on self repossession technology, where if you default on your car loan the car will self drive back to the dealers or a scrapyard! :o
Before the car repossess itself it has a few tricks up it's sleeve to nudge the owner to sort the finance out, like disabling the car at weekends, disabling the air conditioning or playing an annoying noise from the stereo. Jeremy Vine perhaps? ;D

Does the idiot that wrote that piece not realise that Ford is simply a finance company that happens to make vehicles?
Now that technology is available to assist recovery of defaulted product, what did anyone expect to happen ???

And with most SW devs being millenials now, they'll all buy into Agile, which means the code will have more bugs than a Libyian coffee shop....
