If they were building an in-car communication service, that would be one thing.
But "click here to interact with street ads" seems pretty pointless to me, just one more bullshit distraction.
I will note, I have not owned a car this century, and only drive when I need to. But I don't even want a screen in my car. The only useful feature is the backup camera, and I'm fine parallel parking for myself, if the cost of the camera is every other control moves to a fucking touch screen.
I'm probably going to have to buy something in the next couple of years, and I'm pretty sure it is going to be a very old truck that predates the crapification.
