US Citizen Patents A Way To Not Buy Ford Cars
If it’s MY car why would adverts be in it? What’s next, adverts in my shed?
They would beam them into your brain if they could.
Lightspeed briefs: for the discriminating crotch
If it’s MY car why would adverts be in it?
Because you’re too poor to afford the monthly payment on the ad-free model.
OK fine but you better let me watch YouTube on my infotainment then since it’s just as distracting
Opening your door brought to you by Walmart.
Imagine trying to use your finger to click the tiny x of the ad that covered your windshield while you’re on the highway
They would never do that, that would be dangerous. But at red lights, or when you first start the motor, or at the gas station? Oh you betcha betcha betcha
What if you could lease a car in exchange for watching ads and maybe even potentially displaying them for others to see…
No thanks, I’ll keep pedaling.
Message received: Install ad screens on bikes.
I’ll sooner murder a marketing executive
I’d much rather people focus on the road when they’re behind the wheel, thanks.
Consume beverage to clear windshield from ads
My liking for Ford after this: 📉📉📉
Maybe, just maybe Ford is doing all these horrid patents so they can just hold on to them so no one can make them… Would actually be pretty brilliant . That being said wayze already has ads.
In Ford v. Chevy, there is now a front runner for the shittiest.
Well thats gonna jumpstart sales innit
Ok thats it if they do this i will rip out the electronics on the car.
Where is Ned Ludd when you need him?
Whoever filled the patent obviously didn’t consider the optics of this. I’m in the market for a new car and was considering a Ford. This will factor into my decision.
My last Ford was a Focus with the dual clutch transmission, it was a complete fucking lemon (to the point where they were successfully sued over it and have done multiple recalls to fix it). I can excuse an automaker for the occasional shit car if their overall lineup is good and they’re honest with customers, but they knew the transmission was majorly flawed and continued to manufacturer vehicles that used it anyway. I’ve had it refuse to shift while I was driving on the highway before, which left me redlining at maybe 45 MPH. Dangerous and it could have gotten someone killed. I will never buy another Ford.
The pictures of stacks of failed clutches in r/justrolledintotheshop were enough to convince me.
Ford had a habit of inventing new systems, but slapping them on the first couple model years of any vehicle before they seem ready.
My dad had a first-gen Explorer Sport Trac with many notorious problems. My favorite was that both inside back door handles broke off it was like being locked in a police car back there.
