This map was drawn 13 years ago so it's heavily out of date but it does illustrate the companies that got their ip /8 blocks back the day (Ford?!) https://xkcd.com/195/

Ford, Prudential, Halliburton, USPS, Department of Social Security of UK. Someone must have been really high when deciding this.

BTW: this one is better: https://www.caida.org/research/id-consumption/census-map/ima...

Won't every vehicle soon have its own IP address? Many must have them already. IoT means some devices need multiple IP addresses

Ford was assigned it's netblock in 1988. It was definitely not assigned with IoT in mind. And if they deployed IoT today, they would just use the mobile telco's dynamic IP addresses and communicate through HTTP.
