Consume beverage to clear windshield from ads
as is traditional, one of our corporate innovators seeks to protect citizens (never simply consumers, no, no!) with a defensive patent - sure to now be locked away in a safe until natural corporate patent expiration 1000 years hence.
now and forevermore we shalll sing in praise of this beneficent corporate citizen and their efficacious lawyerly thrust deep into the heart of our once inevitable (but now vanquished) future boring dystopia of ads beamed directly into our brains 24/7.
Imagine trying to use your finger to click the tiny x of the ad that covered your windshield while you’re on the highway
They would never do that, that would be dangerous. But at red lights, or when you first start the motor, or at the gas station? Oh you betcha betcha betcha
Not to defend the mega corporation, but companies file patents for ridiculous things all the time that never end up actually being made or used.
Yeah this was probably some rank and file employee that was trying to cash in on that sweet patent filing bonus Ford probably provides

Lightspeed briefs: for the discriminating crotch
Oh good, I wouldn’t want to escape the barrage of ads, ever.

My liking for Ford after this: 📉📉📉
“The system can listen to conversations”.
What a timely coincidence! Patent got published basically at the same time Meta’s, Google’s and Microsoft’s “Active Listening” got public as well. 🤔
Opening your door brought to you by Walmart.
Where is Ned Ludd when you need him?
In Ford v. Chevy, there is now a front runner for the shittiest.
What if you could lease a car in exchange for watching ads and maybe even potentially displaying them for others to see…
I’ll sooner murder a marketing executive
I’d much rather people focus on the road when they’re behind the wheel, thanks.
No thanks, I’ll keep pedaling.
