Ford trying to patent system that reports speeding vehicles to police
Ford says its system could make law enforcement's job easier.

According to the station, because real officers wouldn't be present to witness the alleged speeding violation, it remains unclear what legal argument the automaker would have if it tried to implement the technology.
