“In-dash advertising is here and Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram, beat everyone to further enshittification,” writes longtime Slashdot reader sinij. “Ads can be seen in this video.”
Yet another reason not to by a Chrysler Fiat “Stellantis” car
“car”
Wow what a good incentive to roll through stop signs, and constantly creep forwards but not stopping everywhere you go.
I thought their shifters were a dumb design, but I guess that was just the beginning.
Another fine example of innovation led by capitalism
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.
Love to build the driver distraction device into my car. this should be counted as attempted manslaughter
Stellantis going bankrupt: I chicken-bop
Stellantis executives being fed molten gold until their greed is satiated: I spongebob-party
It seems that there may come a point where screenless and disconnected cars become more and more valuable. That and jailbreaking cars is going to become a requirement.
Maybe so, but honestly gps on the dash makes my life easier routinely, and safer in that I don’t need to touch my phone or try to drive while reading a paper map.
Also having the backup camera there is just a win for everyone.
I don’t like the idea of needing to lose these things because advertising ruins them.
I agree, but enshitification marches on.

Hopefully the death knells of a failing company and not a sign of something more sinister.
Why not both
honkey company
ram’s a subbrand of dodge
If you can’t dodge it, ram it
Thanks Obama.
Someone should be tried at the Hague for this idea
Those brands are at the bottom of every dependability list. You’d think they’d focus on building a better product so they could compete on something other than feels.
Thanks, I hate it!
Wait is this the onion or not the onion I’m confused again 🧅
Not Onion.

I am an software engineer, grew up with the rise of computers, love them.
I don’t want smart things. No touch screens on appliances, fridges, ovens, cars. I don’t want my monitor to be smart.

I think it’s telling that the more one knows about software, the less that they want it in their lives.

Finally bought myself a tv last year, and you would not believe the look on the guys face when I said “No I want a dumb tv”. It was the same look I got when I first moved to ca and ordered a smoothie with no boba… like I had just shot somebody.

Do you keep a gun next to your printer in case it makes a noise you don’t recognize?
That’s the mark of a true cs student/programmer/software engineer
The hardware guys have it easy.

Agreed. Why do I need my fridge to be able to tell me the weather? Just keep my shit cold.
