#2Advertising has gotten out of control. What's bizarre to me is that the people violating us are literally the ones who want something from us. Is there no way to boycott anyone advertising in our car? AND the car itself of course.

#3Can they take the car back? I'd want to return it. No one should reasonably be expected to ask if their car is going to shove ads in their face before buying. Was this something they saw during test drives?
Increasingly, it looks like my next new car is going to have to be an old car.

#5Speaking of ads, my Pi-hole about caught on fire when that page loaded, and there's still ads that it missed. The irony, given the article topic, is not lost on me.

#6You wouldn't run an ad blocker on your car...
> But the problem could presage a more significant issue for future drivers. Last year, Ford filed a patent for an in-car advertising system that would use the car’s speakers and display screen to serve ads to drivers and passengers. That system would also use the car’s GPS tracker to serve ads relevant to the driver’s route.
This is some Black Mirror type dystopian vision of the future for me. Just like nowadays you can't buy a "dumb TV" I imagine in the future it might be impossible to buy a dumb car that doesn't have these kinds of features built into the head unit.

#7As I was reading this story, a pop-up advert appeared.
They’re everywhere, man! Isn’t it time to have an alternative to capitalism? UBI and cooperative gift economies (science, open source etc.)

for sure they signed their life away on some form they did not read when buying the car :)
