Ads in your car should be opt-in, so the pitchforks are warranted.


ads in a car should not happen, period, even if stopped. just because you're not moving this instant doesn't mean you shouldn't be paying attention.

imagine you get to a stop sign, come to a complete stop, and then an ad pops on right as you're trying to figure out if you should make that right turn

hell, the loud crash bang honk sounds on radio shows and radio ads have been banned in many places for that reason.


That used to happen every morning in the DFW area, right as I'd be driving to school. Drove me absolutely nuts.

I think that pre-traffic-report sound effect probably contributed significantly to me purchasing a new head unit that let me play mp3s off burned CDs.


Ads in your car should not. Must not. Can not. Shall not. Etc

People should not even entertain the stupid idea
