Ford has patented a system that lets parked cars autonomously detect nearby threats—like a stray shopping cart—and move themselves out of harm's way. The system uses sensors to track moving objects, assign threat levels, issue warnings via lights or horn, and evade or record the incident if avoidance isn't possible.If the tech reaches production, it could transform vehicle safety, though questions around intervention frequency, space requirements, and regulations remain.
