That would be reduntant. The car can drive you directly to the sponsored destination.

  That probably won't happen because it interferes with the fundamental function of the car, which is to take you from the place you started to the place you want to go. It would be annoying enough that the car company would lose sales to car companies whose cars do not do that. What they might do though is play with the route. Say I tell my self-driving car to take me to the grocery store. There might be several routes it can take. It might infer from the destination that I'm going to buy groceries, and purposefully pick a route that takes me past billboards that advertise for things at that store. It would be easy for the rider to never notice that what advertising is on a route is influencing route choice because they will be expecting variable routes. They will just assume the variability is due to factors like current traffic.
