Ford is considering in-car ads on your infotainment screen while driving.

Posted by TWuG May 13 '21, 16:01

If that comes to pass, I'll never buy a car that comes with that feature unless it can be completely disabled at no cost.

This is very unsurprising. The only nifty new thing is the tech. Ads in taxis have been a thing for a while. -- nm - IAmQale May 13, 17:54
5 dollar cars! -- nm - Mop May 13, 16:46
Easy! Just smash the screen. -- nm* - mafic May 13, 16:44
I’m out -- nm - Pippy May 13, 16:37 1

Fine, I'll just use my phone or tablet instead. (iOS and Android: Guess what!) -- nm - Max May 13, 16:18
Sure, then they'll charge you $10/mo for the no ads version. -- nm - Strongbad May 13, 16:13
Sure. That’s not a safety issue at all. -- nm - znufrii May 13, 16:12
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU - Reagen May 13, 16:08
Ah. Okay. I'm clearly going to have to start a company that makes Dumb Cars and Dumb TVs. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 16:02 5
- go vintage. 1950's cars look nice with the fins -- nm - Peglegpete May 13, 17:04
- Smart is fine. Smart with Ads is a crime. - TWuG May 13, 16:05 3
  - Smart is not fine. Smart makes the buyer the product. -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 16:06 2
    - We may be talking past each other. I use Smart to mean connected to the web. I get that "connected to the web" - TWuG May 13, 18:05
    - (I mean, obviously I mean TVs here, but I don't see why the transitive property wouldn't make it an identical issue.) -- nm - Beryllium May 13, 16:07
