Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

    But I’m still not allowed to touch my cellphone while behind the wheel because the screen is too distracting, right?

      This what I don’t get, those huge “infotainment” screens are perfectly acceptable, but you can’t answer a phone.

      Edit; missed the letter “a”.

        You are typically allowed to have limited interaction with a mounted phone.

        You can’t pick your phone up or anything like that, but you are allowed some very limited usage if it’s mounted. It’s no different than a built in car dash at that point.

        However, fuck this, this is beyond expected use, and is definitely going to cause distracted driving.
