Although the chances of me buying a Ford are extremely small, the odds of me getting a car with ads are 0%
If other people buy these, you won't have much of a choice for much longer. I predict every auto manufacturer jumping directly onto this bandwagon if it doesn't sink Ford's sales (it won't).
People like you and I are going to end up driving 2005 Honda "classic cars" 30 years past their lifespan.
Honestly there are a lot of variables involved. There will always be a market for cars without all that nonsense, and it's cheaper to produce a car without a touch screen. If I have to drive shitmobiles to avoid having to deal with "car as a service", then that's what I will do.
