         4 . The vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the digital display includes a front-facing digital display and a rear-facing digital display, the information to be presented on the front-facing digital display and on the rear-facing digital display, the front-facing digital display to present the information in a backward orientation to enable a correct orientation when viewed through a mirror. 
     
     
         5 . The vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the preference data includes an indication of a demographic characteristic of corresponding ones of the different users. 
     
     
         6 . The vehicle of  claim 1 , wherein the processor circuitry is to provide the preference data to a remote computing device, the remote computing device to select the information to present on the display. 
     
     
         7 . The vehicle of  claim 6 , wherein the remote computing device is associated with a vendor, the vendor to target ads to at least some of the different users. 
     
     
         8 . At least one machine-readable storage device comprising instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor of a vehicle to:
 cause establishment of an ad hoc network via wireless connections with different mobile devices associated with different users, the different mobile devices external to and within wireless communication range of the vehicle;   request preference data from the different mobile devices; and   cause presentation of information on a digital display of the vehicle, the information selected based on the preference data, the digital display to face an exterior of the vehicle.   
     
     
         9 . The at least one machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor is to obtain context data associated with the vehicle while the vehicle is moving from a first location to a second location, the information selected based on the context data, the digital display to present the information while the vehicle is in motion. 
     
     
         10 . The at least one machine-readable storage device of  claim 9 , wherein the context data is based on sensor data obtained from at least one of a vehicle condition sensor, a vehicle environment sensor, or a vehicle location sensor. 
     
     
         11 . The at least one machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the digital display includes a front-facing digital display and a rear-facing digital display, the instructions to cause the at least one processor to cause the presentation of the information on the front-facing digital display to have a backward orientation to enable a correct orientation when viewed through a mirror. 
     
     
         12 . The at least one machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the preference data includes an indication of a demographic characteristic of corresponding ones of the different users. 
     
     
         13 . The at least one machine-readable storage device of  claim 8 , wherein the instructions cause the at least one processor to provide the preference data to a remote computing device, the remote computing device to select the information to present on the display. 
     
     
         14 . The at least one machine-readable storage device of  claim 13 , wherein the remote computing device is associated with a vendor targeting ones of the different users. 
     
     
         15 . A method comprising:
 establishing, by a vehicle, an ad hoc network via wireless connections with different mobile devices associated with different users, the different mobile devices external to and within wireless communication range of the vehicle;   requesting, by the vehicle, preference data from the different mobile devices; and   presenting, a digital display of the vehicle, information selected based on the preference data, the digital display to face an exterior of the vehicle.   
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , further including obtaining context data associated with the vehicle while the vehicle is moving from a first location to a second location, the information selected based on the context data, the digital display to present the information while the vehicle is in motion. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein the context data is based on sensor data obtained from at least one of a vehicle condition sensor, a vehicle environment sensor, or a vehicle location sensor. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the digital display includes a front-facing digital display and a rear-facing digital display, the method further including presenting the information on the front-facing digital display in a backward orientation to enable a correct orientation when viewed through a mirror. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the preference data includes an indication of a demographic characteristic of corresponding ones of the different users. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 15 , further including providing the preference data to a remote computing device, the remote computing device to select the information for presentation on the display. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the remote computing device is associated with a vendor targeting ones of the different users.
