Ford has patented the technology, that doesn’t mean they plan to use it. Companies patent all kind of stuff they come up with just in case, or just to get a thick patent portfolio for cross licensing deals.

Just the same, I’ll keep driving my Corvair as long as possible. Its touch screen technology is right where I want it - non-existent.

I can add manufacturers to my list as they become known. Anyhow, there’s most certainly a market out there for those who don’t want to be terrorized by advertisers. And if that’s not the case, I’ll just electrify my Karmann Ghia and drive that till my twilight hour.
