We will soon be having to pay $15 a month for an ad free version of our cars.

Everywhere else.   The next frontier.

Rich corporations are hurting. They need more money. More money. More money. More money.

Soon cars dashes will have scanners for your credit card to donate in order for the car to turn on. More money. More money.

More important watching ads than what is happening at an intersection.

The autonomous cars that Elon's been promising since 5 years before he bought control of America will take care of that.

Awesome, always wanted my personal chauffeur.

Gang, we have had advertisements in cars since the beginning of the auto age.

That logo on your front grill, steering wheel, maybe the door and dash as well as the rear trunk lid: What do you think that is?

The sticker on the rear and the license plate bracket: What do you think that is?

The logo on the floor of the door frame as you enter the car: What do you think that is?

Everything is designed to enhance brand loyalty. Just as much as television commercials, print adds and other advertising literature. 

Uh...that's not the same as adds for additional services appearing on your car screen while driving.

Respectfully, you're smarter than this.

With more crashes due to distractions from car insurance ads appearing, seems counter beneficial for the car insurance industry.
Seems they make their money not having to pay out claims.

Insurance companies pay out?   That's adorable.

Do you tolerate ads on your radio?

Have you ever had a bumper sticker on your car?

Even Sirius/XM has ads. Listen to the Paul Finebaum Show on Channel 82 if you don't believe me.

Cars are rolling billboards/commercials. Period.

Does it matter who sells the material?

are those ads moving visual advertisements designed to pull away the driver's vision and attention to focus on the ad instead of the road?

Quote from: dgies9156 on February 14, 2025, 01:09:09 PMDo you tolerate ads on your radio? No, I pay for ad free music

Have you ever had a bumper sticker on your car? No, I think they're trashy

Even Sirius/XM has ads. Listen to the Paul Finebaum Show on Channel 82 if you don't believe me. I know SXM has ads on nationally syndicated shows, and no I won't be listening to him.

Cars are rolling billboards/commercials. Period. Sure, but they're not as distracting as a moving screen in your car.

Does it matter who sells the material? No.

Apparently not.

Down Sultan.

Cars are rolling advertising machines. Marketers love it because you're confined in a small space with limited distractions (assuming your car isn't acting up) apart from driving the car itself.

Yeah, you can go to the internet and do a podcast or some other form of ad free entertainment, but your car is prime space for advertisers.

Given the potential liability associated with video car advertising that distracts a driver, it's EXTREMELY unlikely that video ads will become commonplace in cars. Law firms like Morgan & Morgan or Gruber Law Office (One call, that's all) would feast on auto and electronics makers.
