Have you driven a new Ford lately?
Heard of MyKey?
Ford decided they would help act as big brother. And they have done it by giving control over quite a variety of actions and responses while in the car. It is geared at reigning in teen drivers, but it can pretty obviously be used against anyone.

Why am I posting this in Road Rage?
We just spent over 4 hours in a new Fusion (rental). And got listen to a soon-to-be-annoying ring tone, about every 5-15 minutes. Plus see an annoying warning pop up. At 75 miles an hour, warning that you are approaching maximum speed. Slow down to 72, then back to 75 because you got behind a truck or slow driver - repeat the process. Reach 80, repeat the process. Drop down to 78, repeat the process.
Mrs. Mac called the rental car company, and told them to put in her profile - no more Fords.
