Imagine being able to nudge your truck either forward or backward, and maybe even steer from the outside. I stole this from the 5G forum, thanks Frenchy.

The "headline" is more like a punchline:

"Ford Patents a Pickup You Can Move by Pushing on It"

I can see that being handy. Even more so with a hybrid where the ICE would not have to start to move forward/backward short distances. I park my Ranger a couple of inches from the garage rear wall and sometimes I manually push it back to check oil or hang bicycles on ceiling hooks. It would be great for that. Even better, and less expensive, let me do it with voice commands. "Hey Ranger, move backwards 18 inches." Or allow me to do it with the Ford app.
