Something something stallmanwasright.
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...
Adception.
So does this mean I can stop hearing about stupid "Jeep Culture" bullshit now?
"You almost ran over a five year old with your oversized vehicle, thanks for breaking! This segment is brought to you thanks to BetterHelp..."
Anyone know any brand that doesn't pull this kind of shit in their cars?
Anything made before ~2015. You have a lot of great cars to choose from.
This looks like a Luigi level threat
I wonder if disconnecting the carโs cell antenna would prevent this crap from loading.
Does this car have Android Auto/Carplay? Hopefully while that is active you canโt see the ad either.
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
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."
Lol! Imagine in 5pm traffic!..
Broom! Broom!
Stop!
Hey! You driving! The university of Phoenix has a degree just for you!
Go!
Stop!
And wells Fargo can help! Our loans are only 8% Apr!
Go!
Stop!
Pah pah pah pah....I'm loving it! At McDonalds we brought back the stegosaur burger! PST! Its actually crock!
Go!..
Sounds like the Jeep corporate execs should be charged with all the crimes that result from road rage incidents involving people who own Jeep products.
So is this considered distracted driving?
Stop ๐ Buying ๐ New ๐ Shit ๐
I could run a whole community on how to recycle, reuse, repurpose. Why the hell are people buying new cars?!
Fuck this shit. I don't even want to ever buy a newer car these days. Too much invasive bullshit.
Please do. But keep in mind, when I invariably get jump-scared by your infotainment system and crack my head on the car ceiling, I'm going to turn your revenue stream into my personal early retirement pension.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
