Sounds like the Jeep corporate execs should be charged with all the crimes that result from road rage incidents involving people who own Jeep products.

Stop 👏 Buying 👏 New 👏 Shit 👏

I could run a whole community on how to recycle, reuse, repurpose. Why the hell are people buying new cars?!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 14 hours ago

Make that community. I'll join up.

Yup. Keeping old cars going on fossil fuels is so much better than millions of new cars being built every year, and in order for them to be built they ship them around the world to seperate facilities. I could go on and on

Because I've seen what people do with their vehicles. I bought my car new 13 years ago and I've been able to make sure it's been properly maintained the entire time and no one else's crud is all over the interior. I intend to keep it until it falls apart. Prior to that I had a truck I bought used and got maybe 5 years out of it before the transmission died with only medium mileage. I had maintained it but who knows what the person before me did with it.

That said if nothing changes with all this touchscreen infotainment shit I don't know what I'll do. I've hated every new vehicle I've been in the last few years.

Please do. But keep in mind, when I invariably get jump-scared by your infotainment system and crack my head on the car ceiling, I'm going to turn your revenue stream into my personal early retirement pension.

Oh don't be silly. It was YOU who got distracted! The laws are for thee, not me!

-The corporation, probably

Guess I wont stop then. Kids crossing the road? Too bad, I don't wanna see the ads just because you have to get to the other side...

I'm curious what the customer agreement is for this? Is it in relatively plain sight or is this buried deep in the purchase agreement

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago

Are they adding this shit to cars that didn't do that already?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ok, I’ll bite.

Did OP just time travel 25 years and post something from Slashdot?

I mean fark.com is still kicking, last I checked. I feel like some of these old sites are the web equivalent of BIFL products.
