Ford is developing a new technology that would allow vehicle owners to rev their engines remotely, perhaps by using a key fob, according to a patent application spotted by 7th Mustang<\/em><\/a> and other Ford enthusiast sites. <\/p>\n

The patent was filed on November 3rd, 2020, and published on May 5th, 2022, according to Ford Authority<\/em><\/a>. According to the application, the technology would allow vehicle owners to rev their engines using an \u201cinput device operated by the user\u201d and without having to push down on the accelerator. The vehicle\u2019s engine could be engaged \u201cat various distances from the vehicle\u201d \u2014 in other words, remotely. <\/p>\n

This seems like an idea generated almost exclusively for car enthusiasts. The ability to trigger a dramatic engine growl at the touch of a button, even while standing outside the vehicle, is not something I would typically associate with a buttoned-up company like Ford. <\/p>\n

The Detroit automaker and its brethren have largely stood to the side while Silicon Valley companies like Tesla have reaped all the media attention for their untraditional \u2014 and often irreverent \u2014 approach to new vehicle features. Tesla\u2019s Boombox mode, for example, can broadcast custom audio on the outside of the car \u2014 including fart sounds. <\/p>\n
