Thanks for calling attention to this. Oftentimes when a patent is applied for there is no intent to implement it. This is actually a clever way to get ahead of the direction of the market and license to other manufacturers.

Having said that, it's still Ford, and once it's generally accepted for this type of ad to be displayed they'll jump on it real quick.

This is a patent troll, stiffling innovation gaming the patent system for something [we hope] they never intend to produce. Even if it’s a horrible idea we want stifled, that’s still a patent troll

That's inevitable, but in this scenario they own the patent.
