    It’s an absolute win win.

    1. If they patent it, no one else can use the same system in the same way. So it’s contained to Ford.

    2. If they don’t end up using it. It’s simply a safeguard that no one else can either.

    3. If they do end up using it, people will shy away from Ford, making the roads safer for everyone.

    As I said. Win win. This is fantastic news.

      What if legislation says the feature needs to be added. And then everyone’s forced to buy a license from Ford to make it happen?

        No one would be forced to buy a license from Ford. IF they decide it has to be on every car, and it’s that specific system, they would have to buy it out from Ford.

        But legislation like that doesn’t happen over night. It’s planned several years in advance so everyone has time to implement it.

        But if that’s what you’re worries about. I suggest you vote for whomever is opposed to it. And if no one is opposed. I suggest you protest.
