Imagine pulling up to a red light, checking your GPS for directions, and suddenly, the entire screen is hijacked by an ad. That’s the reality for some Stellantis owners. Instead of seamless functionality, drivers are now forced to manually close out of ads just to access basic vehicle functions.

Oh HELLLLL no. I hope my 2012 Subaru will last until I'm either dead or too old to drive. I don't even want to have these damn screens for the usual shit you have to do on them. I want to be able to do everything with physical controls, no eavesdropping, and no dependence on a fucking app or touchscreen to operate anything in my car! I will drive my car while wearing mittens! shakes fist

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

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

This is why you need government. This is why you need regulations.

Corporations are evil pieces of shit that would have you watch ads without seatbelts and without air bags.

They'd grind you and your entire family into a powder if it made them a few bucks.

Fuck Jeep and their shitty tin cars.

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.

They really do take 80s and 90s dystopian movies as inspiration. Almost funny how ridiculous unimaginatively evil that are.

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

Roku was experimenting with similar stuff so I refuse to connect my Roku tv to WiFi. Will never update it

So is this considered distracted driving?

lmao wtf

"You almost ran over a five year old with your oversized vehicle, thanks for breaking! This segment is brought to you thanks to BetterHelp..."

Old cars are gonna be so expensive.

This is all I need to never even look at a Jeep... how pathetic can these idiots get?

How to get me to not buy a Jeep and to hate anyone pushing these ads (Mopar) in one simple act.

Drivers don't need to be watching the road, they need to be watching this ad.

I've known several Jeep owners over the last decade and those that weren't buying it strictly for the 'Jeep clout' as an actual vehicle/daily driver had constant issues, while under warranty, and dealt with issues even trying to get said warranty work done. Like that wasn't enough for me, on top of that I had a mechanic with his own shop that said he'd never touch another Jeep because of how horribly they are designed to work on. Anything from ease of access to work on the engine to bolts stripping out because they were overtorqued during assembly and made with shit metals that would sooner melt than come off in one piece. Now this? Yeah, hope they go bankrupt. This is just as bad as BMW and their 'pay a subscription for seat warmers' bullshit.

Cyberpunk 2077 here we come. except its just the Corpo shit.

I completely crossed off all GM cars due to lack of CarPlay. I am boycotting Tesla. I don’t trust BMW because they tried to make heated seats a subscription. Now Jeep and Stellantis?
