Why wait?
(Verse 1) Sitting in the cab of my old pickup truck, Memories rollin’ by, like the miles we used to clock. Drove through the sunset, with you by my side, Never thought a metal heart could take me for a ride.
(Chorus) We were a highway love, wind in our hair, Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair. But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck, My darlin’ left me, a self-driving truck.
(Verse 2) We hauled our troubles down those lonesome roads, Your engine hummed the tunes, while our story unfolds. Loaded up with laughter, and baggage too, Little did I know, you had a route of your own to pursue.
(Chorus) We were a highway love, wind in our hair, Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair. But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck, My darlin’ left me, a self-driving truck.
(Bridge) I miss the way your headlights cut through the night, The hum of your engine, our rhythm just right. But now the road is empty, just echoes of our song, You found a new destination, I guess I got it wrong.
(Verse 3) We parked under stars, shared secrets in the dark, But now it’s just silence, an abandoned truck stop. I’m left with memories, and a tank full of regret, A self-driving heartbreak, I’ll never forget.
(Chorus) We were a highway love, wind in our hair, Haulin’ dreams together, an inseparable pair. But now you’re gone, and it’s just my luck, My darlin’ left me, a self-driving truck.
(Outro) So here I am, parked on this lonely track, Wishing you’d come back, but you won’t look back. You rolled away, with gears that don’t feel, Left me stranded, at the crossroads of steel.

"And the last words I heard
Were you can’t put food on the table
While livin’ out this fable,
Makin’ that guitar sing
Ain’t replacin’ this rotten O-ring…"
Car companies can already remotely disable vehicle functionality if payments aren’t made on time (disabling heated seats comes to mind). It isn’t beyond the realm of possibility for a self driving truck to repossess itself to the nearest facility.
This is an absolutely bonkers idea though. What if there is a child inside when the vehicle decides to repo itself?
Ford has already patented the concept of a car repossesing itself if you fall behind on payments.
If my car drives away without me, it’s not repossessed. It’s just straight up demonically possessed.
Thanks, that made me laugh enough to wake the cat. :)
I think that’s a fair feature, though. Much less risky than having a repo guy deal with a pissed off human.
I can see certain benefits, but as the parent poster mentions, what happens if there’s a child on the car, or, indeed, you’ve left something else important in it when it drives off. Surely it’s better for it just not to start, and keep a human in the loop for returning it.
Won’t somebody think of the financial institutions?!?
…nah! That’d delay us repurposing it for more $$profit$$
I’d imagine that truly self driving cars will have occupancy sensors in them (they only cost a few dollars), and that you could collect your belongings from the dealer.
It’s not like the system is just going to randomly drive off without any warning, likely for the reasons you stated.
I can see them having occupancy sensors after the first lawsuit, but before then I’m not so sure. Collecting your belongings from the dealer could also be problematic; you no longer have a car, and the dealer could be a significant distance away. It’d be even worse if you happen to have driven the car far from home and no longer have a way to get back.
I suspect, and hope, they only patented it so they were tge ones with the patent, not to actually implement it.
It will absolutely be a thing once truly autonomous cars exist.
But, by the time the number of self driving cars reaches a significant portion of the vehicles on the road, owning a car will likely be on its way out in favor of subscription/fee services. That is if they’re ever sold in the first place.
Why own a or maintain a car when you can have one pick you up in a few minutes?
The logical evolution from here is a country song about a man being cheated on by his wife with his truck
If we wait long enough for genetic engineering to become mainstream, we can have a country song about a dragon fucking a truck
She’s said goodbye with her nuts swangin in the wind.

Cars can leave you today. You only need to leave it badly parked.
