They're not wrong? It's an open secret in the business world that information is the new gold.
If something is free, you're the product.
They are wrong. The manufacturers could have put and marketed a large screen display in their cars without needing to hide behind backup cameras as an excuse.
Plus, the auto companies lobbied against being forced to install backup cameras by default.
Exactly, they need to include the backup camera instead of upselling you on it by including it in the upper trim or a tech/safety package.
thinking that the manufacturers would lobby for the mandatory backup camera just so they can install displays on all car (another thing they cant upsell) just to show some ads is some asinine thinking.
But a rear view camera isn't free, you usually buy it as an option.
Also, I have never seen an ad on any dashboard screen. Maybe if you installed some android app, but never from the manufacturer themselves.
I mean, it's not an option if it's required by law. As to your second point, I have seen news articles talking about "sponsored recommendations", but nothing as blatant as tv/radio ads. https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/360895851/ev-drivers-be-bombarded-incar-adverts
My guess is that you're not in the US like I am, but I hear so many ridiculous stories and laws over there which are privacy-invasive, because it is not a secret that corporations and governments want data to surveil and manipulate its citizens, and then train AI.
I am gladly the product of linux. Keep selling me free linux!!
