This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If we had actual regulation here this would be illegal for distracting driving.
Illegal to look at phone (I know everyone does it and isn't enforced, but still illegal on paper) but not illegal to watch this short message from our sponsors?
I hate living through a bad joke. Much rather read about this shit and laugh then wondering what the next stupid thing is.
cringe cyberpunk. worst genre to live in. at least in the grim darkness of the future you can admit how bad it is.
We need root on our car computers.
We need more dead ceos
And smart TVs, doorbell cameras, robo-vacuums, etc etc.
It seems like displaying an ad at a stop light would be a safety issue since it makes it so you can onky look at the screen while moving.
Not to mention it has the potential to completely distract the driver when the light turns green and other traffic starts moving again.
You'd may as well run the red light
That was my idea as well. You are providing a negative feedback for following the rules.
Blows my mind that this kind of stuff isn’t a safety issue… I guess as long as it’s “touch-free” it’s not considered distracted driving lol
it literally is a safety issue. people are going to die over this. it's just not illegal.
It's so insane how seemingly every company wants to fuck over all their customers these days. Their obsession with fucking infinite growth.
Forget about just the web. Modern tech is about to become unusable due to ads.
I mean like I need another reason to NOT buy a Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep/Ram
"Please subscribe to continue operating your vehicle"
Two weeks ago it was Jeep. Now it's Dodge. This is how it creeps. Are both those companies owned by Crystler?
Yeah, zero surprise seeing this happen to Chrysler/Stellantis cars first.
I'm surprised Dodge is trying this considering the thousands of memes of BMW implementing pay to use features on their vehicle ever since they added subscription heated seats.
Memes only matter if they effect revenue. If profit climbed then the stupid stays.
Next thing you know they'll find a way to advertise in our dreams
Having a bad dream? Why don't you dream about RAID SHADOW LEGENDS instead! DIVE INTO A DARK FANTASY...
You know, I always expected Tesla to be the first to do this kind of shit, but never underestimate Stellantis's commitment to be at the bottom.
This is just asking to get rickroll’d.
Whenever I upgrade my car, if it has this “feature “ I will immediately change out the system.
Been doing this with Jeeps already. They claimed it was a mistake.

"Oops! We accidentally incorporates ads into our software! It was an honest mistake..."
I've never wanted to go smashing car windows in a lot until now
You right. This is the second time I've felt the urge.
