Another car maker banned from my life forever

"Does it have to be? Are you not exposed to billboards while driving? Radio ads?"
Not really in the UK. Minimal bill boards and ad free radio if you stick to the multitude of BBC channels.
-
At least those ads don't track you.

JEEP: Just Empty Every Pocket

I love how that saying this is a software glitch is somehow supposed to make it okay? Motherfuckers, you took time and money to develop the thing. In doesn't matter that it wasn't supposed to be deployed right now. It matters that it was developed at all.
This is my tinfoil opinion, but I wouldn't be surprised that it was done on purpose to gauge the public reaction and setting the pace of rollout.
The timing is too perfect knowing damn well that Republicans won't legislate that.
-
I can't stand when they lie to us and it's not even plausible. I saw an ad for some technical school or something and it proudly proclaimed "Our only goal is for you to succeed". Like, no it fucking isn't! You're a for-profit business; your goal is to maximize shareholder profits while (hopefully) providing a service. It falls apart when you think about it for even a moment...

I design UI for systems infinately less likely to kill you when distracted than a vehicle interface.
The only possible glitch is that this is appearing before it was supposed to.
Being triggered specifically when the vehicle is stopped shows a lot of thought on the cover your ass for saftey lawsuits front, that was no mistake.
-
Lots of it is tied to the ecu now, which can’t be tampered with if you live in a state with emissions inspections.
I’m planning to when stuff starts failing though. And I will likely be installing a homemade OBD2 reporter so that it’ll keep passing.
I don’t live in CA though, I wouldn’t mess with it then, the do tailpipe confirmation, and deeper inspections for CARB parts.

But i think its exploded how intrusive the car factory's are. Just because its a "new" tech, and the politics struggle to control it, or maybe don't wanna, because they also need the data. I want to buy a new car, e vehicle, but I haven't done it yet because of the privacy concerns. It feels like nobody, in my country, cares about it.

I had to give up my '08 manual transmission rear wheel drive technodumb car last month due to it finally going downhill (in its operation and in the easiest direction to push it). Will miss the fun, and the privacy.

If they change course in the next 5 years, so be it. But right now, Jeep took some dev time to develop this, meaning they plan to use it at some point.
They deserve to lose the trust of the consumer because they gave us a peek behind the curtain and it fucking sucks.
Stop being pro-corpo, they are not your friend and they will piss on your corpse if that means they get a dollar more.

Read a book and it might as well be.

But you need room for the secondary car to navigate the car park, from where you left your car to the mall entrance. European people can't understand what they have to face daily in the US.

They are selling right hand drive converted Yank Tanks in Australia. They are double the price after shipping, rhd conversion and making them compliant. They don't fit on our roads at all and are very restricted with payload and towing because of car licence weight restrictions. To tow more you need a truck license (light rigid).
They also have no spare parts here in Aus. Plenty of "overlanders" spending $25k to get it towed out of the outback, back to a major city and get parts flown in from Detroit.
If you want a "truck" in Aus, you buy an Isuzu or Mitsubishi cab-over truck which is like US$35,000 with a tray or box.

Jeep owners are the perfect target for this. Not exactly the kind of people doing a lot of research before purchasing a vehicle. Or else they wouldn’t buy a jeep.
-
The heck is "instant opt-out"? As opposed to what? Not being able to close the ad unless you buy the product?
-
They’re also cheap so many people buy more frequently and the older ones get exported overseas to less wealthy nations which is why you don’t see them here.
-
No, satellite radio is not bi-directional.
-
My condolences.
-
flashed ... custom software
Any hints on where one might find details on this?

a glitch where we had our ad team write the marketing material and setup a call center that would process these policies on the backend and training the backend call center staff to process these policies and built out backend systems to store and process said policies and a mechanism to push ads to the car. Besides all the a total glitch
