Uh, buses have had ads on the sides forever, at least in the US.

Buying a car, which haven’t had ads previously, only to discover after the fact that it serves ads is a change to the status quo. Even more so if the ads were pushed via firmware update and not something that was originally spec’ed (no clue if this is what happened, but sounds plausible, given lack of details).

That's why I mentioned "digital ad displays" specifically, because as other commenters have noted, are starting to pop up in some places.
