Merge from Driven media

The article Driven media is an inactive stub, whose content is largely a copy of content from the Mobile billboard article here. What little unique content it has can easily fit in here. Reify-tech (talk) 15:19, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Promotional tone and NPOV issues

The article was flagged as being written in a promotional tone and having neutral point of view issues. The article as a whole is glowingly positive about vehicles that drive around cities carrying advertisements. It contains nothing about how the vehicles add to traffic, pollution and can potentially distract drivers and pedestrians. There is a completely unsourced paragraph about the effectiveness of the ads that contains numbers in the 90%-110% range, suggesting that nearly everyone who sees one of these vehicles remembers the content. The "Legality" section does not mention any areas where the vehicles are prohibited, and argues, without sources, that moving vehicles with ads on them are a constitutionally protected First Amendment right. If advertising is really a First Amendment right, why aren't there moving vehicles with tobacco ads on them? Roches (talk) 17:27, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Political Usage

Starting in 2023, we've seen extensive use of these mobile billboards for political purposes, specfically in and around protests regarding Israel-Palestine. One prominent example is the usage of a mobile billboard at Columbia University to publicly shame anti-israel students. I personally had never even heard these things existed until I saw them appearing everywhere in the background of protest photos, and I can't actually recall seeing a digital mobile billboard truck used for non-political purposes.
