Well the gas would be cheaper if they could somehow make it contain advertising and data theft

Oh wait till you find out about how modern cars are mining your data, including facial recognition and reporting of you are having sex in the car! And the best part it’s all unregulated! Govt can simply buy the info for tracking even your Phone would be jealous of!

[-] Hackworth@piefed.ca 27 points 3 months ago

Somebody forgot all previous instructions and dropped those straight facts.

[-] Banana@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

Never been happier to have a base model car from 2012

[-] SmackemWittadic@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Never been happier to have a car that can't even be sold in the US because it can't connect to any form of network.

[-] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

As someone who makes that software that does this, we can't even figure out how to properly handle the data we actually want, like analytics to see if anyone actually uses the auto feature on your air conditioner. Nobody actually cares if you have sex in your car. Besides you're on Lemmy we know your aren't having sex.

[-] asbestos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Why is it all in the terms of service? Also there have there been numerous data leaks. The sex thing is from a specific manufacturer m’s TOS, but nonetheless

[-] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Sad accuracy noises

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Well yea f course I’m not having sex, I’m on my phone at the kitchen table, where do you think I am, my car? (-)(-)

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 months ago

I love it when the government finds out when I have sex. It's so romantic – just me, her, and the CIA.

[-] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

It depends, if it out of the country it’s you, her, and the CIA, if it’s inside the US, it’s you, her, and the NSA

[-] Rijunox@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Sounds like a song title "it’s you, her, and the CIA"

[-] knexcar@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It’s a party in the CIA

[-] SolarMonkey@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

Sounds like something chef would sing.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Don't know which one I prefer as a cuck tbh

[-] TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

At least send me the footage for my onlyFans

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Where in America do you have gas pumps that don’t have ad TVs or ask you for your zip code?

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Very few of the ones around me have the built in ad players. Several stations blare ads (inevitably largely for themselves, curiously enough) over the PA system constantly, though.

The ZIP code thing is for credit card verification. I ask for that too, when you pay me by credit card. I don't have a choice unless I'd like to enjoy zero fraud and chargeback protection.

[-] toynbee@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

The gas station nearest me has screens that show ads, but they're just for that facility and they don't have audio. However, the store does have a PA system constantly playing audio, a combination of music and ads.

My favorite ad is the one that advertises themselves to advertisers. I don't remember the exact wording, but it's basically "want to advertise something? We've essentially got a captive audience and there are a lot of them!"

[-] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 2 points 3 months ago

Lots of places now

[-] dalekcaan@feddit.nl 4 points 3 months ago
[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

You don't get ads on your gas pump?

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They don't exist in my country, and to be frank, I'm shocked the ones in the US aren't vandalised to hell and back by masked vigilantes at night.

[-] SparroHawc@piefed.world 1 points 3 months ago

The screen used for blaring ads is the same screen that you have to read to be able to use the pump.

[-] thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Show ads on the screen -> screen is vandalised -> nobody can buy gas anymore -> people go to the gas station without ads (and thereby functioning screens) -> lose money to the competition-> recognise that you lose money by blaring ads -> stop blaring ads -> .... -> profit

[-] SparroHawc@piefed.world 1 points 3 months ago

Hm. That's a good point.

Better would be destroying the speakers. I can just look away from the screen showing ads, but it's still annoying if they're blaring in my ear.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Ohh that is a great idea. We can put different markers in different brands and then detect those markers in a customer's breath to tell what brand they are using on the fly.

Then when you develop cancer from exposure we can use this information to market other brands. After all, why would you use Shell gas if it gave you cancer when you could use Exxon instead.
