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

A previous owner mounted one where the cigarette lighter was. I'm going to replace it soon since it doesn't really fit - I can't charge my phone in the holder.
Maybe I'll finally learn FreeCAD and print my own.

Thanks! The next car on the list was a 2004 Honda Civic Si hatchback manual.
I honestly would have been happy with either car. Having so much fun with the Porsche though.
-
Yeah. Sometimes my bank account gets sad but I don't.
-
It's not as bad as a Cybertruck! We promise!
-
Ya, they've been getting bad press for a while now. Will never own one of those.

Enshitification.

If you slam on the brakes it makes the ad extra large

That's newer then I would go but yeah at least Honda seems to be behind on the complete shit curve.

they would have you watch ads without seatbelts and without air bags.
No, they would require you purchase these because their business can’t sell their products without them, but they’d make you pay a subscription for them to keep working, and when you stop paying the subscription, the car stops turning on until you pay your monthly airbag and seatbelt fee.

I'm not sure how long.
My older car (2012 Mazda 3) didn't have a touch screen. I replaced the radio with a touch screen Pioneer one that supports Android Auto. I'd definitely recommend doing that! It's nice having Google Maps on an older car. The third-party radios tend to be better than the OEM ones (they have to be, otherwise nobody would buy them) and I don't think Pioneer does data collection of any sort.

Make the jeep 50% cheaper and I’d deal the ads. Otherwise …
