Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop
-
Ok, I’ll bite.
Did OP just time travel 25 years and post something from Slashdot?
I was just thinking the slashdot used to be a massive source of traffic across the internet.
And now it's a sink. How times change.

I was looking for a car a few months ago and was looking at newer models, used, but mostly less than a decade old. Then I started reading about all the tracking and such.
I gave in to my inner teenager and bought a 2001 Porsche 911.
The entertainment center can connect via Bluetooth but there's no Android Auto, no navigation. It has Sirius XM but I never had a subscription to it and never will.
I might add a backup camera but that's it. My phone is more than enough tracking, even with as much of it shut off as possible.
This is the way.
Add in a magnetic charger phone mount and you're golden in my opinion.

Guess I wont stop then. Kids crossing the road? Too bad, I don't wanna see the ads just because you have to get to the other side...

I don't understand how this is related to the Streisand Effect. The Streisand Effect is when you try to suppress unflattering info about yourself, and in the process you call attention to it, so now everyone knows. But we didn't learn about this through Jeep trying to suppress the info, we just learned about it from people who saw the ads.
That is the photo Barbara Streisand attempted to have removed from the internet, the effeft gets its name from this event and photo.

We need legislation against the unending encroachment upon our daily lives by advertisers.

"Speed", but instead of a vehicle exploding, it's to avoid ads.

A bicyce at this point.

Right, but... what does it have to do with Jeeps showing in-car advertisements?

Is this real?? Do you have the source?

I bought a 2025 Kia Sportage before the new Trumpflation taxes went into effect. No ads at all. I would have been pretty damn mad to see ads. Weird that Jeep has decided to self destruct.

Mazda is supposedly one of the last major automakers that has mostly physical controls in their cars. Definitely at the top of my list for any future car purchases.
I highly recommend Mazda if this is something you care about. I had a 2016 Mazda 3, and now I have a 2022 Mazda 3. The infotainment is all controlled though a physical knob and buttons, the climate control is all physical buttons. I am not sure if the screen is even a touch screen... I don't think it is, but I have never attempted to touch it since I was so used to using the physical knob system in my old 2016. The physical buttons are why I picked my current 3 turbo up over the WRX I also tested. The WRX and the other Subaru's I checked out all annoyed me with forcing use of the touch screen snd buttons to change the climate settings. I hope Mazda never changes that aspect of their cars. Not sure if the other models also do this, but I don't see why they would.

What's confusing is that some great auto brands from Europe are under Stellantis (Peugeot and Citroen at least)
And they're actually not doing a shitty job in designing or selling their vehicles. It's mainly the Chrysler brands or basically the US brands under Stellantis
Turns out regulations are good for businesses.

Also, the climate control is all on smaller screen that just displays info with the climate system. The infotainment has nothing to do with the climate controls.

Regulations are definitely excellent for both businesses and consumers in the long term. But businesses are often too stupid to see past ANYTHING "quarterly".
