“You almost ran over a five year old with your oversized vehicle, thanks for breaking! This segment is brought to you thanks to BetterHelp…”
Drivers don’t need to be watching the road, they need to be watching this ad.
It’s a static ad, not a video. I agree with your sentiment though!
This is all I need to never even look at a Jeep… how pathetic can these idiots get?
I already had dozens of reasons to never buy a Jeep. This is just the cherry on a shitty cake.
Cyberpunk 2077 here we come. except its just the Corpo shit.
hahahahahaha nope.
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.
dodge in general did not do well on realiability, Thing is they have neat engineering. So I loved the grand caravan but they killed it to try and get folks to pay toyota prices for their shit and its like no. You vehicles have to be ten grand cheaper so that you amoratize the repair bills.
You know, I’ve got to give their marketing team props for managing to sell a vehicle with the engineering quality of a Saturn to people with more money than sense for a whole ass order of magnitude more than it’s worth. Game recognizes game.
Yeah I’ve never heard anything good about jeeps in general. Now they are being run further into the ground by trying to become a luxury brand. At least when it was just a shitty jeep, it was still a somewhat cheap shitty jeep.
Fuck this shit. I don’t even want to ever buy a newer car these days. Too much invasive bullshit.
fuck me because my cars like 10 years old.
Something something stallmanwasright.
This is just one of the many reasons I have no interest in new cars. If it needs an internet connection then I’m not buying it. There are very few things I need my vehicle to be able to do and having access to internet isn’t one of them. I don’t even like that my truck has automatic wipers - I vastly prefer the traditional ones. Hell, I don’t even need the radio.
Honestly, fuck the whole thing, I’ll take my bike. With blackjack. And hookers.
Honestly, fuck the the bike, it will save you from purchasing a hooker
But then who will I play blackjack with?
Uncle Teddy would definitely not approve of this.
Video showing ads on dashboard.
Video itself starts with a QR code ad embedded into it. And it’s on Youtube so who knows how many ads I skipped with uBlock…
Adception.
Who so they think owns the Jeeps?
I thought this was the onion for a moment
Furthermore: Slashdot still exists? And it still has an active community in the comments!?
Lemmy alone hasn’t been enough to replace reddit for me; I should see if I still remember my old password…
Fark is still around too.
Fark rules!
Slashdot still has a good feed of articles. I never quit it 🤣
Yep it is slow but steady.
This webpage is broken. It doesn’t have content until you allow thrid-party scripts.
Sorry I don’t check if a webpage requires 3rd party scripts before I post them for you. Leave it blocked and moved on I guess?
“Speed”, but instead of a vehicle exploding, it’s to avoid ads.
Officer, “Why’d you run that red light?”
Me, “If I hear the Meow Mix jingle one more time I’m gonna snap!”
Jeep, having heard you mention a product, dutifully plays the relevant ad.
Officer: Why were you speeding?
Me: Wanted to avoid ads.
This isn’t even funny… This is something people will do. Jeep doesn’t give a fuck about safety. FUCK Jeep.
Jeep isn’t a true company anymore it’s just another brand under Stellantis. So FUCK stellantis and every other brand under them.
