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.
Welp. That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Of the class action variety.
Don’t worry, on the mountain of paperwork you sign when you buy a car there’s probably an arbitration clause somewhere.
Oh, I thought you meant a lawsuit from me. When I, a pedestrian am crossing the street with my walk signal, when suddenly, the guy at the opposite side of the intersection just starts driving at a red light because he was distracted by McDonalds. Didn’t even realize his foot was on the pedal, and now I got run over.
I’m pretty sure the point of showing the ads only at intersections is, that the car needs to be in a standstill
So they kinda give you “entertainment”, while you’re waiting
Obviously a completely shit move, but I’m afraid, we can’t hit them for safety issues here
Maybe more relevant would be, that people will miss the green light or produce more traffic jams, because that they’re clear to move on
(Or did I miss something how/when they show their stupid ads?)
