I was under the impression that it was illegal to have any kind of light emitting signage on a moving vehicle. Does this vary by jurisdiction?

Everything to do with cars varies by jurisdiction..

Difficult to work out what the law is for side visible displays is in the UK, though. Front and back ones may be limited to white or red.

I'm now wondering how camera only self driving cars are going to cope with this, too.

Yes. Video trucks are already common in Las Vegas, NV, USA.

In DC too. Usually associated with political campaigns, although I recently saw one advertising Uber Teens outside a school.

What could a movement to directly punish advertisers look like? Ones who pass a certain threshold of ruining the venue they're sponsoring or generally worsen a community, online or off. Why do they get a pass, no matter how far they encroach on ruining environments and institutions?
