This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If this shit came on while driving I would wreck the car ans sue the shit out of BMW.
But I'm not an asshole, so I'll never own a BMW...
It is illegal to show anything like that while the car is in gear.
However, it's completely fine as soon as you turn it on, or are sitting parked, or in aux mode.
I though it was illegal to even do that. For example, parked at a read light and texting is definitely illegal. You need to pull over completely off the road to do that.
So I don't see how a car can show you ads at a read light or stop sign, this literally diverts your attention away from the intersection and surrounding area.
The most amazing thing about all this is the execs that came up with the idea genuinely seem to think people want this.
How out of touch can you get?
At this point, it would be better to just lease the car. What's the point of buying it if the manufacturer still controls it and it's not actually mine?
Sooo BMW drivers are gonna drive like bigger assholes now?
Distracted assholes, yes.
Cars have gotta be the worst possible place to put ads. Distracted driving is already a problem, this is just going to make it worse
You're missing the point: that's where the autonomous driving comes in! People are now just sitting there watching the road, while they could be spending that time watching ads...
