Remember, some cars have essential systems looped through the 5g antenna. Check whether your car is one of them before clipping it with a pair of wire cutters, costing only $3.
I know someone that removed the comms on their newer lexus, it knocked out the whole screen, radio and HVAC but only after a few weeks later. The touchscreen displayed something like it "could not authenticate to validate subscription" with no way to move past it. Had to take it to a dealership and get the telemetry reconnected and reprogrammed to get functioning again.
I hate this corny phrase. There is no such thing as violence. It's just the manipulation of objects that causes the molecules in an area to be disturbed in one particular way.
Man, Ford really doesn't want to sell any more cars, do they? I say let them have their "patent", and ensure that only Ford can do this kind of shit to their customers.
Just slap some tape over the sensors along the bumpers, side mirrors, and behind the rearview mirror. Best of luck to them getting it back to the repo-depot in one piece.

What "essential" system could require a connection?

That's not essential. That's asshole design.

I hate this corny phrase. There is no such thing as ownership. It's just the state enforcing the arbitrary claims of the privileged with violence.
This slogan is just promoting the capitalism that's causing the problem.

Ownership is a very real thing that's different from property.

Thr U.S. patent office is terrible. They'll approve any bullshit as long as the forms are in order.

Why use Biden for this? He took the train to work for decades and was the poorest president in I don't know how many years.

Wasn't he also the one who ordered a railway strike to end instead of letting unions negotiate a better deal for workers?

Reagan, either Bush, Cheney, Trump are all better examples though.
