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. :)
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
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.
Aren’t you going to credit ChatGPT?
Not enough beer or dead wives. It gets no play on clear channel.

Already exists. Merle Hazard, Dave’s Song
She’s said goodbye with her nuts swangin in the wind.
*Twangy guitar jangles in the background
Cars can leave you today. You only need to leave it badly parked.
I fueled her up, he brought it down,
Then they together leaved the town.
Sad yeehaw
