Looks like Ford just voted to NOT be my choice of car vendor in future.

However getting this patent could be used by Ford to prevent such systems from beeing used by all vendors, but thats veery unlikely i guess.

We say this now but in 5 years, cars could go the way of smart TVs... sold at prices subsidized by advertisers.

LOL, imagine thinking that TVs are actually subsidized and that the spyware isn't just extra pure profit.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Lol they absolutely are subsidized. Look how expensive non-smart TVs are new

Last I checked, Sceptre TVs are price-competitive with other brands, if not even cheaper.

Afaik they're a discount brand? That you have to buy from Newegg? But I'm glad there is at least one option!

If they don't included tracking, recording, spying, and advertising, they're premium at this point.
