I have the same issue with my Xbox one: If a commercial on TV says :"now available on Xbox one", the Xbox interprets "Xbox one" as "Xbox ON" and turn on by itself.
But here this is a malicious use of the feature. It doesn't even assume there might be other people in the car. I wouldn't be surprised if people start boycotting Toyotas if they get disturbed by this stupid ad.
I noticed on windows 10 you can switch Cortana to "recognize my voice". This would fix the problem for anyone with a voice sufficiently different from the ad
