'Annoying' ads in Uber, Lyft cars
Like it or not, we may be seeing a whole lot more ads in cabs. A judge gave the green light Thursday to a firm called Vugo that wants to put ads in cars driven for Uber, Lyft, and similar companies. U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams ruled in favor of Vugo. The ruling noted New Yorkers tend to find taxi ads annoying, but she wrote, "There is no basis for concluding that advertisements in the exempted vehicles are somehow less annoying or that those passengers are any less vulnerable."
