Ford applies for patent on self-repossessing vehicle technology

The patent application describes new "systems and methods to repossess a vehicle." Inventors are listed as Anthony Maraldo, Brendan Diamond, Keith Weston and Michael Alan Mcnees, all Ford engineers.

They describe in the patent application a range of possibilities that include the car driving itself off private property to be picked up by a tow truck or taking it to a junkyard if the value is too low based on mileage and other factors.
