I’m of two minds here. First, this sucks and is annoying and would make me want to go back to early 2000s model cars or older. Second, if we are ever going to get to autonomous cars as the standard, we should expect this to increase significantly. https://tech.slashdot.org/story/25/02/11/0016258/jeep-introduces-pop-up-ads-that-appear-every-time-you-stop

I fully expect automation and AR to convert every area of our life to a Times Square esque carnival.

This, and subscription-based features that are already included in the car you're purchasing but only enabled when you pay extra money are the first steps into a "brave new world" dystopia.

I don't understand why ads are necessary for autonomous vehicles as a standard. Or are you saying we should expect it because of the natural tendency for companies to creep in ways to monetize their customers?
