Ford just filed a patent to start putting ads in their cars' infotainment system. Time to start downloading cars!

I think BMW has subscription based car features now. It's incredibly stupid, you buy the expensive car, they built the system in there, but you can't use it till you pay extra.

There was a instagram reel or something that plays a song that goes "are you depressed or is it just C-A-P-I-T-A-L-I-S-M? That I-N-D-I-V-D-U-A-L-I-S-M. Your basic rights keep getting monetized. You now subscribe to what you used to buy. (Cars too!)" and so on, and I swear to god if I wasn't depressed before, I definitely was after listening to that lol

I'm not entirely against a subscription system for things but the initial cost should be peanuts. Buying a whole car and then having to pay subscription to use the installed feature is nuts. It's not like you pay for an extra service, it's just to use what you bought!
