However it is Ford that is seeking to patent a system that will make the legendary repo man redundant. The system, however, has built-in mechanisms for warning the owner before the car dramatically drives away. However, Ford makes allowances for being hospitalized, out of the country, or in financial hardship, in which case the car owner can work out a deal with the lender. The car might also try to frustrate the owner by playing irritating and incessant sounds through the audio system. The company’s Blue Cruise active driving assistance system was recently rated as the best by Consumer Reports.
