    GM was already caught snitching to insurance companies. This isn’t the leap you make it out to be.

      Oh, trust me, I’m well aware of that issue. There’s a lot I can say about that as well, but my point was more how I see this type of article posted time and time again, with Tesla a lot of the time, of “Company patents X feature, here’s how it’ll be the greatest/worst feature in [current model year+1] vehicles!” and it really isn’t the case at all. I know of plenty more dystopian shit going on in the industry as a whole, so I know it’s not a 0% chance of something like this being implemented. I just felt it’s worth being a voice of reason in saying that this isn’t necessarily a feature coming to to the MY27, just because someone had some spare time to put together a PowerPoint of an idea they had to submit to Ford’s IP lawyers.
