Welp every manufacturer that shows this should go down immediately upon first offense.

Not even kidding, this should be corporate suicide.

Dodge and Jeep are (well Jeep already was tbh) both firmly on the "actively speak out against" list. If I was in a place of hugely inflated power, I would dismantle the entire company, and sell it to whoever that company likes the least.

This should honestly be a brand ending scenario in less than 5 seconds after the first ad. CEO should be in the bread line TODAY from getting hit with this.

ABSOLUTE zero tolerance. There are no valid arguments against this and I will die on this hill.

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

We dun fucked up when we made tarring and feathering CEOs illegal.

I’ll accept this when the car comes for free.

Stop buying new cars until they remove this bullshit. We can go 40 years with existing cars without buying a single new one.

We need to tally up all the accidents and pedestrian hit-and-runs that occur involving cars with this “feature.” It would likely be enough of an increase you could reasonably make a class action lawsuit. I have no sympathy whatsoever for a car manufacturer that can’t get it through their heads that distracted driving is a major cause of accidents, and could easily happen by their own features.

You mean the "oopsie poopsie it's just a glitch nothing to see here" thing that was happening to jeeps a little while ago?

Color me shocked

This is why I'd rather rebuild my 30 year old civic's engine then buy a new car.

So... um... will the buyer get money from Dodge to drive this shit then?

I'd quit my job and start running the campaign for anyone who's willing to run on outlawing this shit. I'd work 75 hour weeks handing out fliers about distracted driving.

If you've bought any Stellantis Fiat Chrysler Dodge Jeep etc. product in the last 20 years then you deserve this. Absolute junk.

Starting price is now $58,000.

They ditched selling the accessible models for the luxury market and they do the most cheap and trashy thing possible.

It's incredible how stupid millionaire CEOs can be.

Did you know John Deere tractors have a dedicated piracy scene? Because the tractors require authorized technicians to service them and doesn't allow farmers to service them themselves, spoofed firmware has appeared and is fairly frequently used to bypass this.

My point is, if you can jailbreak a tractor you can jailbreak a car. Just a matter of time.

Pretty much everyone asked for this with their actions and choices as consumers. Lucky us, we can still choose not to buy a Dodge Charger or a Swasticar.

Brand new 2024 vehicle: I disabled all connectivity. No software updates, no remote start through their app, nothing; it will never connect to the internet. These greedy car and ad companies have lost the benefit of the doubt. Literally no amount of money will ever be enough for these giant corporations...
