This is the real reason tech is pushing self-driving cars. If you don't need to see the road, you can look at more advertisements.

And they'll sell it as a cost-saving feature, like smart TVs and Kindle tablets. "We can provide this at a reasonable price because the costs are subsidized with advertising." You can buy a car with a traditional windshield for $80k or with an AdShield (TM) for $40k.

self-driving cars

Something I've never understood about self-driving cars is why would you want the expense of owning one if you're not driving it? It's like how rich people used to own expensive cars but employed a chauffeur and never drove themselves.

All this instead of just building more trains jfc

Can't extract as much value with trains as you can with cars

Oops I installed AdShield Block, thanks for the discount car.

It's not actually discounted though. They still make a heafty profit. They just mark up the alternative. Tomorrow they will make it more shitty and more expensive. Stock owners gotta extract ever more value. Line go up! End goal is to be a monopoly, protected by the law, get lots of money and provide little in value to anyonee in return.
