The car will be your personal judas
Creepy, also I know it's only a patent application and so companies just put any old shit in and see what sticks but come on...If the patent office is underfunded maybe they should be able to just put fines on large firms when string together obvious shit in the hope of getting a patented.
It’s only a patent but it’s not that unlikely to be implemented imo as they could offer you subscriptions or addons to not be spied on or to not show you ads
Of for sure it or similar will be implemented, especially so say in taxis. It's just I don't believe its worthy of patent protection, it's an obvious idea and there's nothing in the patent that any other bunch of creeps wouldnt come up with in 5 mins if they wanted to do the same. Although I suppose it could be good if ford got it and restricted only to their cars, at least itd be easy to avoid! 🤣
