Having your navigation display change because a company want to divert you from your destination sounds exactly like "beaming distracting ads into my car". Even a message will distract people more than necessary, humans already prove their focus is poor as hell. It'll feel like your car has a life of it's own, and that life is now capitalism.

I don't see why this couldn't be toggled off with a simple setting.

Same reason your browser doesn't block all ads and popups by default.

It really should be opt-in then, not opt-out.
