#Dodge is now showing ads for extended warranties on their cars’ infotainment screens when you stop at a red light.

A pop-up dialog blocking almost the entire infotainment screen. It says: “Purchase Peace of Mind—Mopar Vehicle Protection Maximum Care plans are factory backed and offer you Peace of Mind in case of a mechanical breakdown. Press the “Call” button to speak to a specialist. Odometer must be less than 36,000 miles to purchase”, accompanied by buttons labeled “Bluetooth Call” and “OK”.

This sounds objectively bad.
Like their committee decided the best way to make their EV sound like a Dodge was to record a Dodge and add an 'EV whine that's kinda like a supercharger whine'.
It's also not reactive to what the car's doing, as seen in the donuts.

It's like a low-budget racing game's car noise.

There is so much bad #UX #design here that I hardly know where to start.

If you are a professor, this is an excellent design exercise: improve this. I'm sure ANY student could make this far simpler and easier to use.

I have a short video using this that makes it ever more clear this was designed by a dysfunctional design team. This is a #Dodge #Durango if you're curious.
