When I saw the headline, I thought 'oh, what a nice idea', but the quote above might have a point and I am not entirely sure how right it is. But I guess there is probably some truth to it.
I hate digital, and especially animated, billboards very very much. It's super annoying and just plain distracting. Maybe just analog billboards might be a good way. So local businesses get a way to advertise themselves. Maybe it has to get some regulation so that big companies won't buy all the ad space? I am not sure.

Every % of attention stolen is a big win for advertisement, and increases chances of bad accident. Do a bit of statistics on number of drives per day globally, number of accidents, increase that chance even by 1% (which is very debatable but in many cases its much more), and you get nice number of number of deaths and damages done daily by ad business around the roads.
