It's so insane how seemingly every company wants to fuck over all their customers these days. Their obsession with fucking infinite growth.
"Please subscribe to continue operating your vehicle"
I'm surprised Dodge is trying this considering the thousands of memes of BMW implementing pay to use features on their vehicle ever since they added subscription heated seats.
Memes only matter if they effect revenue. If profit climbed then the stupid stays.
Memes don't matter if revenue climbed
Whenever I upgrade my car, if it has this “feature “ I will immediately change out the system.
time for a new sound system then, lmao
Welp, my days of not buying Dodge cars seem to be coming to a middle.
Be careful, it might be illegal to not buy one.
Damn, I would be pissed if my car started showing ads. I hope this enshitification doesn't spread.
Dodge dropped 29% in sales in the USA last year, and something tells me, this isn't going to have folks lining up to buy Chargers in 2025. Watch the free market* take care of this one.
*Unless you're Tesla, in which case the market costs $277 million to purchase.
I thought GM foregoing CarPlay in favor of their own proprietary UI was a great way to kill sales, this is absolutely genius. Way to ensure I would never purchase your products!
Took my Dodge vehicle in for service. They wanted my email address "so they can get in touch with me if I don't answer the phone." I gave it to them.
It took less than half a day for the first spam mail to hit my inbox.
They wanted my email address "so they can get in touch with me if I don't answer the phone."
"Lol no"
Then walk out.
If we had actual regulation here this would be illegal for distracting driving.
Illegal to look at phone (I know everyone does it and isn't enforced, but still illegal on paper) but not illegal to watch this short message from our sponsors?
I hate living through a bad joke. Much rather read about this shit and laugh then wondering what the next stupid thing is.
We need root on our car computers.
We need more dead ceos
And smart TVs, doorbell cameras, robo-vacuums, etc etc.
They really don't make them like they used to.
adds Dodge to the no buy list
You'd may as well run the red light
That was my idea as well. You are providing a negative feedback for following the rules.
Forget about just the web. Modern tech is about to become unusable due to ads.
It seems like displaying an ad at a stop light would be a safety issue since it makes it so you can onky look at the screen while moving.
Blows my mind that this kind of stuff isn’t a safety issue… I guess as long as it’s “touch-free” it’s not considered distracted driving lol
Oh, look...!!
Yet another good reason I'll not buy a new car. 🙄
Perfectly happy with my current 03 model thank you...
If this ever happens to any car I buy, it'd be going right back to the dealer.
You do realize this is based on a almost half-a-year old reddit post? What has happens in the meantime?
Note to self, never buy a Stelantis car. Not that I have ever considered that anyway!
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
