Ford's Shocking Plan to Play Ads on Center Screens!

[@Ray__E]

A dystopian nightmare

[@jamesmartin7282]

31 year employee of Ford now retired. If they do this, I'll never buy another Ford and won't offer Z and X-plans to anyone.

[@kevinatkins282]

💯💯💯

[@avgFloridian]

Salesman: Hello! What new car are you looking to buy? Me: Got anything with an infotainment delete package?

[@roxstix]

Driver: *tells a good joke Passenger: *hahaha Ford: * hahahaha

[@justaseagull8406]

Distracted by the ad, caused the accident, like being distracted while on your phone. but that's OK.

[@CarCoachReports]

That is a good point

[@bobdavis3357]

They'll me you sign a waiver before you take delivery of their Ford.

[@Mej_Javiky]

Thank you for keeping us updated and informed,

[@CarCoachReports]

You bet!

[@ghunt9146]

Turning off customers, just when they need us. Not thinking things through, are they!

[@Anthonyz19]

On my 7 th Ford. If this happens no more, I'm done with Ford.

[@GoodTimes4All]

Our vehicles haven't been a "sanctuary for private conversation" since the invention of the "smart phone".

[@jamescook6535]

Hey FORD , how about making machine's that don't need to be RECALLED every other week , can you hear me now ?

[@canomalo3662]

Don’t buy cars that implement this

[@CarCoachReports]

I think that multiple brands are starting to do this. You’re going to see it down the road you will not see it in 2025 or 26 models but I have a feeling this is coming down the pike.

[@ImLivinSD]

@@CarCoachReports It really seems like these guys are shooting them selves in the foot. Maybe they really don't want to sell cars anymore. I could call this a Hostile Manufacturing scheme to make even more money off us. Just say NO

[@kms250]

Ads in car = never buy their vehicles again.

[@matthewpere1975]

Get in car Turn on ignition ad pops up "vehicle will start after add" Yay the future.

[@CarCoachReports]

😂

[@laneed3763]

TY this is very helpful info... won't be purchasing a FORD this is too Big Brother-ish 😳

[@CarCoachReports]

I don’t think it has to do with the Ford brand specifically. I think that every brand is going to start jumping on board with this type of way to make money. It’s a patent at this time and Ford said that they have no plans to implement this. Remember the more we scream the more they listen. Like AM radio they are now putting it back into the cars. We win.

[@davesup5059]

Sounds really stupid because it will be another distraction for drivers not to pay attention to the road. Illegal surveillance

[@patriot9455]

Drive with the "Infotainment" system turned off, or find a tech who knows how to disable or confuse the microphone. Buy a car with no radio??? have a portable radio you listen to. There are inconvenient ways to foul up new technology.

[@pascalouellette8516]

Talk about safety from distractions first then privacy next...disgusting car manufacturers and government...

[@mikewallace8087]

All data collected in your car is an invasion of privacy. My love songs to my wife sitting RH to me are private.

[@3089280288]

Anyone who buys those cars deserves no compassion.

[@CarCoachReports]

This is going to be in every brand down the road. They just need to start realizing we don’t want it. And getting the word out makes them turn around like they did with AM radio.

[@georgeevanick40]

In spite of continued catastrophic global market share decline, the US automotive industry continues to demonstrate their business head remains firmly inserted in their rear view mirror. Instead of focusing on reliable, affordable vehicles for consumers who are getting fiscally squeezed with the rising costs of housing, food and basic needs; they bake in more gimmicky crap no one wants. And the taxpayers are in no mood for another bailout. I drive a 99 Silverado because it’s reliable and cost effective to repair. I have little reason to hope the US automotive industry will secure the right leadership it so desperately needs. So, I plan on driving my 99 Silverado for the next 20 years.

[@williamcarlson5405]

From WC, this is why I take my 2005 Honda CR-V and 2003 Ford Ranger in each year to my trusted Independent Mechanic for an oil change and for him to check all the components of these vehicles, yes it can cost something, but usually not what even one car payment would be! I have Stereo & CDs! If I go on a trip I have my good old ( Up to date) Rand McNally, though I must to confess getting harder to find! And I have my Beeper Buddy for those Speed Traps! You know the ones where can can see for a mile, but if you are 5 mph over the speed limit it’s 200 Dollars or more, not a residential street where you should be at 25 or 30 mph!

[@high-techredneck2300]

Wireless android auto is already pretty invasive. Your phone just automatically connects to your car and your not even thinking about what it's doing with that connection. Using your internet and funneling your data to Google. But Atleast you can choose not to have your phone pair to the car which anyone who cares about there privacy should not. This sounds like you won't have a choice, pretty disgusting

[@hphillips7425]

I wonder if the mic can be disabled to prevent them from listening in?

[@bobdavis3357]

By collecting and selling all of our data for profit.

[@andrewcarpenter687]

The model T was succesful and affordable to the masses...the F 150 keeps Ford viable...

[@MacTX]

Instead of sitting around thinking of what they should patent to make sure they don't have a future as a company, Ford should probably be thinking of ways to improve their vehicles, so people actually want to buy them. Ford is right near the bottom of vehicles I would ever consider buying, and they've been there for decades.

[@dewrus2153]

Scary thing is many smart devices already do this. Anything from smart TV's, personal assistants like Alexa, and pretty much all brands of cell phones already listen...so vehicles are next. And it's not just going to be Ford. Just more reasons to keep old cars longer. Lastly, just because a patent is applied for doesn't mean they'll implement it...just means they own the patent for it. Companies do this all the time to lay a claim on something sometimes for the sole purpose to beat another company from doing it and therefore "owning" it to give them the edge...no matter if it ever actually comes to fruition, or not. If they move forward with this and enough people complain (or vote with their wallets), they'll adjust course.

[@thumperjdm]

"Oh look honey, it's an ad for Listerine mouth wash." "Hmm...my F150 must've heard I was getting road head from you."

[@ChasingDifferentAdventures]

For Political figures it's a Security Risk. They think they're in Secured line they're not with these figures. Australia had found out Ministry used BYD personal vehicle, and conversations, as well as military installations were comprised. Trying to make these Vehicle's illegal.

[@humbughumbughumbug]

This would eb hilarious for pranks! Just leave behind an mp3 player that says, "gay porn gay porn" on repeat next to the microphone.

[@quartytypo]

During an election Ford will run ads in the car for its candidate.

[@georgescott4505]

So happy to own a 1977 LTD. A beautiful car without all the BS.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

My decision to drive vehicles built before the 1995 model year has proven time and time again to be a great one.

[@bills5009]

If they just built reliable cars that people liked, this wouldn't be necessary.

[@bluecollarbuilds]

Good thing aftermarket radios exist

[@bobdavis3357]

Not bad looking 35 year old woman there.

[@bobdavis3357]

That just ticks me off. No more Fords.

[@CarCoachReports]

Not guaranteed they will use it, buyers are pushing back and this could shelve the program.

[@willj487]

I have pulled the and modems from both of my cars my 2019 and 2023. This is so ridiculous, you have to pay for systems you shouldn't use due to privacy

[@Offensively-normal]

I guarantee Ford will never a penny from me. Neither will GM. Or anything the company stellantis makes or sells.

[@seeniedk]

Our phones already do that😂

[@HEELMACHINE]

Yes but this is starting to be out there without them caring if we know it or not….. normalizing not having privacy which will lead to them into regulating our speech in our own homes. This is without a doubt a tool to brainwash us more than they already have. When they brainwash you …… they have stolen your soul…… without a soul…. You’re not a human being anymore. Just a construct of psychopaths

[@darylb5564]

This may not be the worst idea in history but it certainly deserves a spot on the Mt. Rushmore of bad ideas.

[@pascalouellette8516]

Cars braking without owner applying brakes and causing rear end collisions is already a thing along with self driving who is actually at fault, not the driver the manufacturer will be held liable especially when they won't allow the actual owner of the car to disable those features...Hyundai is already in the insurance and NHTSA cross hairs...

[@thomaswilson2917]

Not true. On my Tesla I can turn everything off and it will never brake on its own. Also if someone rear ends you they are following too close or not paying attention.

[@pascalouellette8516]

@@thomaswilson2917 2024 per Hyundai you have to disable it each time the vehicle restarts...not per the operator settings

[@jgesselberty]

They are setting themselves up for lawsuits, big time. An ad that distracts the driver, could cause accidents.

[@BryantAccountant]

Wow. I was thinking of upgrading to a new mustang gt. If they put this in the car then no way, I’ll go to a different brand. And I missed the video on reporting speeding violations to the police. It’s like ford is actively trying to go bankrupt.

[@CarCoachReports]

This is a patent. If you listen to the whole video, Ford did respond saying that it was not going to be in new cars. However, this could be in future vehicles. That should not stop you from purchasing a Mustang GT

[@Thestr8noodle]

We already have enough ads shoved in our face everywhere, we don't need anymore. Now potential in-car advertising? Dystopian much?

[@patriot9455]

Can you reasonably expect Ford to license the use of the technology to the manufacturers of aftermarket radios. Would the system still listen to the conversation while the "radio" is turned off

[@tb4326]

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE DO THIS! YES, PLEASE! Oh man the chaos it would cause with the brand would be glorious. Maybe then we will see FORD finally go away and go bankrupt!

[@mrjim1973]

So wrong!

If they hijack your system, Just turn the radio off and play everything through your phone.

A suggestion for your future videos: please not add any music on top of your dialogue track. You are not making a music or dance video, so music is not needed while you are speaking and it gets in the way of listening to what you are telling us. Thanks.
