This is why used cars are so dang expensive, it seems like automobile quality has been in a free fall since 2008. The end user experience gets worse while the price goes up.
Enshitification.
They really do take 80s and 90s dystopian movies as inspiration. Almost funny how ridiculous unimaginatively evil that are.

Anyone know any brand that doesn't pull this kind of shit in their cars?
Anything made before ~2015. You have a lot of great cars to choose from.
I wonder if disconnecting the car’s cell antenna would prevent this crap from loading.
Does this car have Android Auto/Carplay? Hopefully while that is active you can’t see the ad either.
Could be like some of those TVs that have baked-in ads. So if you don't have a data connection, they'll just play the default ones.
Edit: I imagine that the car to prevent you from unplugging the antenna would probably do the classic, "I haven't had a data connection in X amount of time, therefore I cannot verify the security of the device, so we're going to prevent the use of autoplay."
This webpage is broken. It doesn't have content until you allow thrid-party scripts.

Maybe we just throw an ad on the windshield... Like a little one... Off to the side?

Please do. But keep in mind, when I invariably get jump-scared by your infotainment system and crack my head on the car ceiling, I'm going to turn your revenue stream into my personal early retirement pension.
Oh don't be silly. It was YOU who got distracted! The laws are for thee, not me!

I'm curious what the customer agreement is for this? Is it in relatively plain sight or is this buried deep in the purchase agreement
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
