Stellantis Is Putting Ads in Your Car (I Wish I Were Kidding)

Stellantis may have just made the dumbest tech decision in automotive history. The company in charge of the Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram brands is reportedly displaying pop-up ads on infotainment screens in their vehicles. You thought the future of cars was bleak before? Wait til you see what happens when marketing comes before engineering.

In this episode of Fuel for Thought, I'll rip into Stellantis for putting pop-up ads in their car, investigate why this is happening, what in-car advertising could mean for the auto industry, how it could impact you, and how on Earth anybody could possibly think this is a good idea. If you're fed up with the direction the auto industry is taking, stick around.
