One of the major concerns while using rental cars or renting out cars to third parties is the risk of them being used for drug trafficking by irresponsible individuals.

With current advancements, Ford aims to leverage advanced technology loaded in modern vehicles to ensure that you are not the next unwitting participant.

The patent for this system of detecting unknown items has been filed by Ford in March 2023, and was publicly released on September 19th.

According to Ford, this system will utilize various sensor units and cameras to detect suspicious activities, check the vehicle’s weight, and scan for any unrecognized GPS radio frequencies.

The system will then activate the camera to record any suspicious movements and store it as evidence.

Additionally, the system will also track any changes in driving patterns and behaviors resulting from the addition of unknown weight loads.

It is just a patent for now, but it is not implausible that one day this system will be realized to combat the issue of drug trafficking.
