Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) unveiled a controversial new patent dubbed 'vehicle operation in one-wheel dig mode,' triggering a modest decline in its stock during Thursday's trading session. The system allows vehicles to lock three wheels while rapidly spinning the fourth, effectively enabling cars to excavate holes—a feature marketed for off-road recovery and construction applications.
Market reaction was tepid despite Ford's attempt to position the technology as an innovative tool for recreational off-roading and job sites. The patent describes scenarios where dug holes could assist in vehicle recovery or ground preparation for infrastructure projects, though investors appear skeptical of the feature's commercial viability.
