The future is near: cars have learned to leave their own owners – debtors of banks – behind
Before we had enough time to talk enough about remote connection options and subscription to certain “technical features” of the car, the global automotive industry went further: Ford equipped its cars with equipment that allows the hair of a Russian driver on the back would fall out of his head. Great movies are no longer great because of such innovations! And in more detail – in the material of the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.

So the overseas auto industry has confidently stepped into the future, and the best we can still afford is to stay as far away from such event development as possible. The time has come when the Soviet-made Moskvich will become many times more attractive than the most modern American car.

A few years ago, fantastic Hollywood films showed seemingly unrealistic intrigue: a hacker breaks into the electronics of a car – ha ha, the Russians said, given the only “live” relay on their UAZ – and takes control of the vehicle from the driver. And today it has really become a reality.

Ford plans to equip its cars with an option that will allow banks to forcibly seize cars from citizens who are late on loan payments. In the first stage, the debtor is blocked by various not so important systems, such as air conditioning and the memory of the seat settings, then the door locks are blocked and the debt signal is activated in the car.

The highlight should be an innovative autopilot, which, when the defaulter reaches a certain amount of debt to the bank, simply takes the car to a predetermined point, where a tow truck will be waiting for him. without owner’s permission. Do you agree with such an option? From now on, Americans no longer need to check tire pressure and oil level before a trip, but a bank application. Now it “decides” whether you reach your destination or not.

And this news is much worse than it seems at first glance. Firstly, the introduction of such equipment means that cases where the driver is no longer able to drive or be responsible for his car are quite possible. How many children and cats will suffer as autonomous vehicles travel to the address, and who will be responsible for this under the law, is a question.

Secondly, the modern world is rich in craftsmen who can crack any, even the most secure system. The Pentagon, which is under regular attack, and Russian hackers, who continually win American elections, won’t let you lie. And what do we get as a result? The car, which is supposed to protect, becomes the main danger.

Carefully studying such news, I would like to ask: dear automakers – long years to you, strength, stay there – but you cannot imagine a situation where a simple breakdown in the form of a dead battery, pick-up from a door in a supermarket or some other accident, the street turns into a meat grinder? Also very worrying is the following: will the discussion of this or that state decree also automatically take the “rebel” to the police station, or will he first be offered to record a video with an apology?

There is only one conclusion from the ongoing madness: Iranian novelties, which will soon grow on fertile Russian soil, the native AVTOVAZ and the close-fitting UAZ, will rise sharply in the near future and be widely delivered abroad. Not because they have innovative possibilities, but simply because they are lacking.
