Jeep was bought by Stellantis, so I'm giving Jeep the benefit of the doubt. I imagine this terrible, horrible, no good idea, was their idea. The people with the money rarely come up with the good ideas.
Stellantis is working as a corporations of corporations AFAIK, and they’re free up to a certain degree. However, they have profit targets, and if you fail you’re closed down, again IIRC.
So, tracing that decision is a bit harder than it looks.
Yes, Tavares resigned recently. Hope they become a better company, but their "Revenue increase program via software enabled cars" and what Jeep did with it doesn't inspire confidence, for now.
