New Nightmare Just Dropped: '3D' Animated Ads on Trucks in Traffic | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion criticized animated 3D-style truck ads as distracting, ugly, and unsafe for drivers.

Commenters argued the visuals rely on illusion rather than real 3D, making them more gimmick than effective advertising.

The thread raised broader concerns about mobile digital ads increasing roadside distraction and normalizing intrusive outdoor advertising.

The debate also highlighted safety and regulatory questions around moving video ads on trucks and billboards.
