Starbucks Ads on my R1T? Wait? What?

[AllInev]

I was watching a YouTube video of someone driving their R1T and noticed an advertisement for Starbucks show up on their driver display/screen. I had no idea this was a thing? Did others?

11 minutes, 11 seconds into the video.

Edit: Looks like that was a Spotify add. I didn't realize it (hadn't seen this before) these mini-ads show up on the driver display.

You were listening to an advertisement and they used an advertisement as the "album art".

Why were you watching a YT video while driving??

I guess this is one way to offset losses.

Seems illegal as it is a distraction on the Driver's display. Infotainment screen? Maybe OK.

Certainly no more dangerous than a Fig Newtons ad on your windshield.

Is it possible the YouTuber inserted the Ad in post-production?

This is the standard album art display it shows when you change songs. The R1T is just passing along an image and a string from your phone or streaming service - it will show the song/video/podcast title, and yes, the title of an advertisement.

In this case it's a Spotify ad (you can see the Spotify logo by the player controls when he pans over to the infotainment display, where the "Advertisement" title is also visible on a clearly 30 second ad spot between songs/podcasts/whatever.)

This has absolutely nothing to do with Rivian.

Ha ha! Sorry for the confusing wording. I was watching a YouTube video of someone else driving an R1T.

This is the standard album art display it shows when you change songs over a bluetooth connection. The R1T is just passing along an image and a string from your phone - it will show the song/video/podcast title, and yes, the title of an advertisement.

Good to know. Thanks.

Clears it up.
Thank you.

FYI, this YouTuber has done a few good no-nonsense reviews of his R1T. ?

 

[Yellow Buddy]

R1T: Rerouting to Starbucks

You: Alexa, cancel navigation.

R1T: One order for a Venti Cafe Misto, would you like to confirm your order?

You: Cancel

R1T: Order confirmed.

.....

Rivian: Our EPS has increased by 400% this quarter due to additional advertising revenue, sales, and payment commissions.

Wait until you randomly find amazon packages in your bed with Driver+ delivering them while you're at work.

If my truck starts ordering Starbucks it's gonna get sent off to one of the auction sites. Life's too short to drink that stuff ?

I didn't realize you can watch any media on the Rivian screens...driving or stationary...How does one do that When charging, I would like to watch media...
