So then… Laxative and boner-pill ads all day long? Maybe mix in some Geritol here and there?

If/when this happens it will just lead to a rise in aftermarket products to disable the feature.
Hell, since they will probably use AI to parse the audio you can probably use it to fuck with your friends. Like when people would put out hyper-specific FB ads but via cars.

I’ve got a solid 20 that Ford also patents whatever it is that turns this system off…

And then they integrate the systems with proprietary cross checking so that you can’t swap out or disconnect components, doing so will throw a code that will prevent cars from passing inspection on the CAN bus or cause a no-start. Why? Because they’ll put that shit in the contract when you buy.
Just like the outrage over car features needing subscriptions to activate, people will bitch and complain, then they buy the car anyway.

I bet people will find a solution that’s very simple, like snipping the GPS/cellular antenna. I think that could work to bypass it because what if your driving in a area with no reception? I highly doubt they will turn off your car because of were your driving.
