**Summary:**

1. **Surveillance Cars** : Ford’s patent application discusses using vehicles to monitor each other’s speeds and report violations, potentially using onboard cameras to photograph speeding vehicles and send reports to the police.
2. **Automated Policing** : The system could ease police work by having cars themselves detect and report speed violations, possibly integrating with self-driving cars for continuous monitoring.
3. **Night Drive Mode** : Ford is also exploring a “night drive mode” that would automatically limit vehicle speeds during nighttime, impacting all drivers, including emergency responders.
