Maybe so at this point in history. Don’t be surprised when Ford implements it or something similar at a later date. Ads are in most everything now and they have already sold your data to insurance companies.
“it’s just in the corner, when you drive near one of our Partner companies”
“it’s just a square on the main menu”
“it’s just a brief full-screen suggestion”
“it’s just whispering sweet nothings at a forced-volume into your Harman Kardon premium audio system (we have always done this for plebs who opted for our standard audio system)”
“it just adds an additional waypoint to your route, like our new Signature Partner, Dunkin’ Doughnuts. Get a free small coffee when you spend $15 and say the keywords ‘ADS4LIFE’ into the drive-thru robot”
“it’s only taking control and driving you in comfort to your nearest Ford dealership to trade-in your vehicle at 100,000 miles”
“it’s only siphoning your blood plasma to keep the FordOS AI financially afloat”
“it’s only recording your banking details at the ATM and charging you a monthly weekly fee to support and assist you with our cutting-edge technology”
“GIVE US ALL YOUR MONEY NOW OR WE ARE DRIVING YOU OFF THE GRAND CANYON”
