E: I can also imagine some useful functions of that tech, like automatic adjustment of the car's speed in response to speed limits or showing warnings from nearby signs.

Funny you should mention that. Older model Teslas can be tricked into accelerating to 85 in a 35 zone by elongating a 3's middle line by two inches.

When I lived in LA, I remember seeing billboard signs for "Gentlemen's Clubs" (read: strip clubs) on occasion near downtown. Imagine that showing up in your car's iNfOTainMent SySteM with your kids in the back.

You're a real rear end in a top hat of a parent if you haven't taken your kids to the L.A. Zoo to see the Spearmint Rhino.

Billboards should be banned if they're in line of sight of a driver. The last thing the average driver needs is to be bombarded with objects that are designed to be as eye-catching and attention-grabbing as possible.

I wonder if anyone's done any studies on the death-toll of roadside advertising.

Classy.

I can't wait for the near future when I will be unable to get to work because I forgot to pay my car's monthly subscription and the ignition is tied to the infotainment system which not only costs $24 .99 a month for the most basic subscription (includes 5 FM channels and maps for areas within 5 miles of your registered home address) but also includes advertising and records all your conversations in the car. I loving LOVE paying for the privilege of being advertised to.

Actually if you think about it, small, unobtrusive, cutting-edge digital billboards are a safety feature, as they can help to draw a driver's eye away from distracting, outdated physical billboards.

The best part about my car's console is that when it's cold out after like two minutes of driving it will make this alarming loud beeping noise and pop up text on the screen saying "HEY ITS COLD THERE COULD BE ICE WATCH OUT"

Because that sounds like "We put nutrients at the locations of all the train stations on the map and the fungus grew directly between them. Coincidentally, the actual rail lines were also laid out directly between the stations."
