“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.”
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.
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.
Does anyone even make a quality dumb tv?
Check out commercial displays, they’re more expensive but higher quality and don’t do anything creepy.
I think it’s telling that the more one knows about software, the less that they want it in their lives.
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.
Yet another reason not to by a

Hopefully the death knells of a failing company and not a sign of something more sinister.
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.
Thanks, I hate it!
