Video showing ads on dashboard.
Video itself starts with a QR code ad embedded into it. And it's on Youtube so who knows how many ads I skipped with uBlock...

This is just one of the many reasons I have no interest in new cars. If it needs an internet connection then I'm not buying it. There are very few things I need my vehicle to be able to do and having access to internet isn't one of them. I don't even like that my truck has automatic wipers - I vastly prefer the traditional ones. Hell, I don't even need the radio.
Honestly, fuck the whole thing, I'll take my bike. With blackjack. And hookers.
Honestly, fuck the the bike, it will save you from purchasing a hooker

Are they adding this shit to cars that didn't do that already?
There are no high end middle class cars now. Used be if you got an audi, merc, beamer etc. You were part of an in group where youngot extras. Now you spend 80K and they want you to subscribe for cruise control and AC. Lambourghini and porsche dropped back to entrr the market and only brought their badge.
I thought this was the onion for a moment
Furthermore: Slashdot still exists? And it still has an active community in the comments!?
Lemmy alone hasn't been enough to replace reddit for me; I should see if I still remember my old password...

So does this mean I can stop hearing about stupid "Jeep Culture" bullshit now?

I wonder if disconnecting the car’s cell antenna would prevent this crap from loading.
Does this car have Android Auto/Carplay? Hopefully while that is active you can’t see the ad either.
Could be like some of those TVs that have baked-in ads. So if you don't have a data connection, they'll just play the default ones.
Edit: I imagine that the car to prevent you from unplugging the antenna would probably do the classic, "I haven't had a data connection in X amount of time, therefore I cannot verify the security of the device, so we're going to prevent the use of autoplay."

They generally go into limp mode if they cannot report on you.
I mean it's a Jeep. You don't buy that if you don't want a limp car, anyways. :P
I heard the new 2025 model wallops you in the bollocks every time you pull the parking brake.

Holy shit. For the love of Luigi, this is terrorism.
It's only terrorism when poor people do it.
"Speed", but instead of a vehicle exploding, it's to avoid ads.
Officer, "Why'd you run that red light?"
Me, "If I hear the Meow Mix jingle one more time I'm gonna snap!"
Jeep, having heard you mention a product, dutifully plays the relevant ad.

Officer: Why were you speeding?
Me: Wanted to avoid ads.
This isn't even funny... This is something people will do. Jeep doesn't give a fuck about safety. FUCK Jeep.

Edit: I didn't see the other comment, oops
I'm lost for words.
...what if the whole family is watching? Does everyone have to raise their hands and yell "McDonalds"? Including the kids?
This might just as well be used in "smart" fridges. "Do this corporate dance to get 20% off your next Corn Flakes"
