Cause apple is famous for tasteless ads, right

But it says automakers can customize it

They can already customize the dash they own completely end to end. If some manufacturer is already doing ads there, makes sense they'll try to continue. If they aren't, I don't see how CarPlay would encourage them to start.

They are certainly all hoovering up any data they can about you and selling to 3rd parties though.

In that case I'm not sure how this is a relevant comment? They could have injected it at any point in time.

Who said anything about taste?

Yes they made the one with the kid asking “What’s a computer?”

You just proved that that’s one of their greatest ads ever. Ads need to stick in the head and are talked about and this ad did exactly that.

Now just imagine how the ad that causes you to have an accident will stick in your head! Possibly even physically! Amazing work by Apple.

Can't wait to see tasteful ads on my dashboard.
