Holy crap! I never even considered this, but it’s entirely possible for a lien holder to be given access to a self-driving car’s software for repossession.

Maybe we shouldn’t be giving them any ideas.

I think it was Ford that patented the tech to do it. Hence it being the subject of the comic. They already have the idea. Good thing their self driving is only approved on certain highways.

It would already be bad if they can revoke your access remotely, like making your key not work.

Companies biggest goal nowadays is to have people not actually own anything they are selling, so they can leech subscription money for self-induced necessities

"keep yourself cool in the summer! AC subscription pack for just $200/month"
