I’m no fan of ads, but by your logic this would also mean no radio/music, no cup holders, or anything else that could shift attention off the road.
Where does the line get drawn?

Cup holders allow you to have a good place to put your drink without being distracted. They help you keep attention on the road by not spilling your coffee on your lap.
Ads don't help anybody with staying alert or doing any other tasks in the car. They're meant to capture your attention for selling you something.
If driver alertness is the key factor, cars should have inward facing cameras that can detect the drivers eyes so it can play a horrible noise when the driver starts micro-napping. Or ads for nearby hotels. I think Teslas already have such a camera. New revenue stream!
This exists already [1] and is in pretty much every new car in the EU at least.

Ideally by the person who knows most intimately how badly you're being distracted, i.e. you. (Until they get the ability to scan your brain.)
Before phone, we still saw men shaving and women putting on their makeup.
I have 0 faith in people to self regulate and avoid distractions while driving. At least at a population level.
At eavesdropping.
It's so absurd.. I think anything goes at this point, so long as the line gets pushed back a bit.
Cupholder ? You decide if when you want. Radio ? Yes there are ads but you expect them when the music ends.
