Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop

lmao wtf
-
Yep, I swore off any and all Chrysler products over a decade ago.

If they are static, they'll probably be like this:
-
You raise a good point.
I'm much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.
I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don't seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it's just part of the show.
The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that "some" ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. I'll take blissful ignorance thanks.
So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.

When I was young, you (supposedly) could still buy WWII-era original Jeeps disassembled and packed into crates in cosmoline. I always wanted one of those but never had any desire to own a modern one.

then proceeds to recklessly dismantle
huge parts ofthe US governmentJust give him a few more weeks.

No, but V's apartment did have advertisements on the windows and a vending machine in the living room
-
This is why you need government. This is why you need regulations.
Corporations are evil pieces of shit that would have you watch ads without seatbelts and without air bags.
They'd grind you and your entire family into a powder if it made them a few bucks.
Fuck Jeep and their shitty tin cars.

It's actually part of the Sirius XM package. So I think that all you have to do is not bother with Sirius XM.
-
the cars are fucking solid.
Try driving through a car wash without activating "car wash mode".
-
They really do take 80s and 90s dystopian movies as inspiration. Almost funny how ridiculous unimaginatively evil that are.
-
Its not marketing it's that they extend credit to anyone who comes through the door. 550 credit score? No problem sir, here is your $62500 RAM 1500, loaded with options. If you can't pay $1000/month for a Kia why not splurge and not pay $2000/month for an optioned out truck?
-
No, it's considered distracted stopping. /s
Same damn diffence in my book, fuck Jeep for that shit!
-
I wonder how hard it would be to make an open source car brain that can be a drop-in replacement for the commercial ones?
-
Holy crap I feel old now. Since when? I'm still driving a car without a touch screen, and that's never going to change.
-
Any pure EV from Mazda is actually a rebadged Chinese car but I forget which brand. It's basically the only way Mazda could sell EVs in China and that's what they offer to the European market as well. In North America, I know we only have the PHEV variants but no EV only.

-
Hard, even stuff from 10 years ago have proaitary hardware across multiple "brains".
-
Too bad it comes with the jeep.....

This is why we need government that isn't in the pocket of corporations.
We need something like lawmakers having to disclose their tax information annually. If you want to be in office and make millions you should be willing to put your morals on the review table.
