Your POV subscription has also lapsed and you're stuck in 3rd person view. If this subscription is not paid then you will be downgraded to top down (GTA1) view before finally going to the basic plan of text only console.
It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
Text only GTA would be… interesting.

I'm still trying to figure out how it's legal to have massive advertisements lining roadways specifically designed to distract drivers.
I think it was ford that submitted a patent for a camera that points forward, reads bilboards, then plays a video on your dash. I hate how shitty technology is being used all in the name of money and advertising.
Well never reach any kind of utopian future where things just work and technology is used for good. It's not about helping and feeding the needy, it's all about satisfying the wealthy. It's a disgusting timeline, literal rapists and genocidal maniacs running countries.
Off subject, but I wonder if these UAP sightings by the air force and navy are optical illusions, perhaps projected onto windshields.
Because they were shown to be defying physics, it's the least fantastical explanation I can think of that fits what is undeniably true, those that deny the facts as they are notwithstanding.
I'm convinced that most North American cryptids were just memorable encounters with an owl that may have had substances involved on the part of the observer. Optical illusions being the primary source of UFO sightings, not out of the question to me
This is the real reason tech is pushing self-driving cars. If you don't need to see the road, you can look at more advertisements.
And they'll sell it as a cost-saving feature, like smart TVs and Kindle tablets. "We can provide this at a reasonable price because the costs are subsidized with advertising." You can buy a car with a traditional windshield for $80k or with an AdShield (TM) for $40k.
All this instead of just building more trains jfc
Can't extract as much value with trains as you can with cars
Oops I installed AdShield Block, thanks for the discount car.
It's not actually discounted though. They still make a heafty profit. They just mark up the alternative. Tomorrow they will make it more shitty and more expensive. Stock owners gotta extract ever more value. Line go up! End goal is to be a monopoly, protected by the law, get lots of money and provide little in value to anyonee in return.
self-driving cars
Something I've never understood about self-driving cars is why would you want the expense of owning one if you're not driving it? It's like how rich people used to own expensive cars but employed a chauffeur and never drove themselves.

Fuck, I can actually foresee McDonald's advertisements being holographic projected into the bottom corner of your windshield. It's not even much worse than what car companies are already doing with your car.
Hopefully they still have the "skip ad" feature after 15 seconds
"Post a selfy with your delicious bag of McD's and the hashtag #imlovinit to receive 20 minutes of ad-free windshield time! Ba da ba ba baaa"

And it'll be the same four fucking ads, over and over and over!
My freemium homies know what I'm talking about....
Hi, my name is ryan reynolds, do you want your own ai fuck toy to cum in 30 seconds...
Plot twist: In 2050, McDonald's restaurants no longer exist, and nobody eats there anymore. However, the company still generates $66B per year with their "ad free" subscription model.
If yew don't eat Fig Newtons than fuck yew.
Yeah, at the current rate this is ~2027-28

I welcome the new age of edgyrunners. Hacking(mostly script kiddy stuff but still) and modding is getting really popular.
RESUME VIEWING
What is going on? I've now seen two of this exact joke on Lemmy but one is this picture and the other is a video of a different dude in a different car with a different ad in the windshield.

It will make me drive on the wrong side of the road?
They should at the very least connect this to your start and make it so you can't start your car till you pay.
They already do with remote starts with some vehicles. I forget which.
Also some cars I think use your phone as the key, so if you lose your phone, it breaks, is hacked, turned off, stolen, etcetera, you can't use your vehicle.
Where I have I seen that dashboard?
