Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

How is this street legal? Can't use your phone but can have popup ads?

It is so bad. The passenger can't even fix the nav, at least not in the Chevy I just rented.
