Actually, seen another way, Patrick is ahead of the game in this discussion...In some areas (like Portland) where there is a decent-sized percentage of the population that use the streets for alternative means of transportation, ads like this are seen as irresponsible, legitimizing dangerous behavior that has the potential to kill or maim innocent soft targets like cyclists or pedestrians or the like.
Yes, I know, these cars are on a track, and all the lawyerspeak is safely installed in the small print.
I'm neither opposing nor championing a side, I'm just aware that there is pushback.
