It’s a printer, and for fucks sake, BMW is locking you out of certain features of their cars if you don’t pay per month.

Telsa cars will drive themselves out of your house if you miss a payment.

Ford is doing this as well.

  Ford’s patent document also mentioned playing annoying audio meant to bother drivers dodging payments.
  
  The patent filing also clarified that late payments might result in a driver given partial access to their vehicle during the week so they can earn money for financing, Insider reports.
  
  Sounds like they want to be in court a lot. There’s no way any of that is safe.

    Oh yeah. How long until the vehicle repossesses itself when a child is in the car? The lawsuits would be massive.

    Why are they getting patents for stuff like that? I thought patents were for mechanical inventions only, not new money schemes to stop others from doing the same so you’re known for that scheme?
