Missed your car payment? Future cars could self-drive to impound lot

Recently, Ford applied for a patent on a connected car technology system that aids in vehicle repossession when payments are delinquent. The first step in this procedure would involve the owner receiving badgering messages on their smartphone or inside the car's screen. If the owner persists in ignoring the messages, the car would begin to execute a multi-step repossession procedure. The second step in this procedure involves making the owner pay in other ways. If these steps don't work, the car would then make itself unusable by refusing to unlock its doors.
