You know, after using Google Now on my phone, I'm confident that Google can deliver context-sensitive results that make sense. Not always, not for everything, but I bet they could pull it off in a cab just fine.
EDIT: I guess it's worth pointing out, however, that Google Now doesn't show ads.

- lurker14 14y agoGoogle Now shows unsolicited restaurant recommendations. They might not be paid (I don't know), but they are certainly ads.
- sses 14y agoThat's a very loose definition of ads. Advertising typically implies that it's the restaurant promoting itself.
- wutbrodo 14y agoI think being paid is pretty integral to the concept of an ad.
- bennyg 14y agoThis is a reply to those below you, because I can't reply to them specifically. Word of mouth is considered the best form of advertising you can get. Almost 100% of the time it's not even paid for.
- equalarrow 14y agoWell, don't forget, they bought Zagat. So even if it doesn't look like an ad, 'recommendations' are probably just another form.
