... a Ford patent application titled "Systems and Methods to Repossess a Vehicle" was published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Feb. 23, although it was submitted to the agency Aug. 20, 2021.

The document describes using vehicles' built-in data connections to remotely disable "a functionality of one or more components of the vehicle," which would serve as warnings if the owner has missed car payments.
