Damn, sweet ride dude! Congrats!

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.

This isn't even funny... This is something people will do. Jeep doesn't give a fuck about safety. FUCK Jeep.

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. I don't even like that my truck has automatic wipers - I vastly prefer the traditional ones.

Honestly, fuck the whole thing, I'll take my bike. With blackjack. And hookers.

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.

Peugeot and Citroën have their own issues in Europe (and technically in America) with the recall of car due to defective airbags.

And actual privacy protection.

And the best part is you probably have local anarchists who want to help you learn to maintain it

There's just no way I'm ever going to do this.
Honestly, I'd rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.

My 2018 Chev Trax may be the perfect level of tech for my tastes. Climate stuff is all physical, but it had a nice screen that you can hook a phone to through a USB or Bluetooth to pass maps/audio/calls through it with the audio and calls being controllable by buttons on the wheel.
The only actual car operation buttons on the screen are things you wouldn't do when driving anyhow like decide if it locks automatically or setting the default volume.
Most obnoxious thing it does is keep reminding me that the sat radio subscription is expired when I start it.

Jeep isn't a true company anymore it's just another brand under Stellantis. So FUCK stellantis and every other brand under them.
