Car security system known as Canopy
starting with the F-150 Lightning and E-Transit
Ford said the Canopy system will use acoustic sensors, onboard cameras, radar, and GPS to help stop theft. An onboard camera will point at the pickup's bed or van's cargo area, and the system will use artificial intelligence to recognize and report threats while minimizing false alarms. Customers will be able to view a livestream video feed on the Canopy app, and potential threats will cause a notification to appear on the owner's smartphone. A two-way audio feature will allow owners to let thieves know they are under surveillance and, hopefully, scare them off. ADT's security monitoring team will also be notified if the system sees suspicious activity near the vehicle.
