Rules:

1. What to post?

"Smart" features that stupid, unnecessary, or even harmful.
Devices that are (bad kind of) internet-dependent, harvest data, are a security risk, and such.

2. Behave.

Act like a nice human being.

Stellantis at it again.

Jeep has been owned by Stellantis for a while now. I suspect this is less an internal idea from jeep but the larger company rolling it out and seeing what they can get away with. I suspect that this will also roll out in their other brands as time goes on.

The other brands include

Dodge

Citroen

Chrysler

Fiat

Alfa Romeo

Opel

Ram trucks

Vauxhall

Peugeot

Maserati

Lancia

Funny that the linked site shows ads 😁 all the time, not only when I stop reading.
