Ford gets a patent for a camera that detects speeding offenders

Speed offenders will not feel at home in a Ford in the future. The car brand has just received a patent for a camera release that gossips as soon as the car speeds up.

Not even if you have bought and paid for a car in the future, you can count on being free from surveillance. On the contrary actually.

Ford has just applied for and received a patent for a camera release that flashes as soon as a driver breaks the applicable speed limit. The system complements the mandatory ISA scheme, which already raises howls if new cars speed as much as one km/h too fast.

Based on Ford's own description of the technology behind the patent, the camera surveillance is probably mostly intended for the police forces and units that buy Ford's specially developed police cars.

That's what Motor Authority writes.

But that does not prevent Ford from also spreading the technology to private cars. Specifically, the car brand describes the patent as: a technology of cameras and sensors that can assess whether a car is speeding.

First and foremost, it is the sensors' task to detect whether a driver is speeding. If this happens, some special cameras are switched on to be able to record the person in question.

Things like GPS coordinates are then logged on the individual car. Afterwards, Ford sends the information to the relevant authority or authorities.

According to the Motor Authority, Ford's patent application was first made public on July 18, 2024. But the documents available to the public reveal that Ford already applied for a patent on January 12, 2023.

Whether Ford intends to use the patented technology for anything is uncertain. At Ferrari, you have, among other things, sought protection of an engine that does not just burn hydrogen, but turns directly on its head. Read more about it here .
