Banksy's answer to this would be so simple, I'm baffled you bothered asking.
You wouldn't attack another person for their clothes. Because it's on and belongs to a person.
Banksy wouldn't give a damned if you painted over his art. Because it's not on person and belongs to no person. Same as the ad space and the abandoned building he painted over.
He attacked those who legally contributed negatively to public spaces. No one's car is doing that, and if they were, kids would just scribble "Wash Me!" over it and you would be there clapping, oblivious to this conversation until pointed out.

Are you kidding? Cars are well known for their negative contributions to public spaces, in the forms of (1) exhaust, and (2) noise.
This is part of why I'm baffled that the solution to electric cars not constantly generating terrible noise pollution is to mandate that they all include and operate noisemakers.
I'm sure you can understand that, while incidental, the noise cars make is important for their use in public spaces not being even more of an unacceptable danger and that simply taking the noise away means the car should not be allowed on public roads. If you can make the electric car at least as safe as existing cars for everyone around it then go right ahead and propose it.
Yes, car noise is annoying but the alternative is much much worse. Not so for ads.
> Yes, car noise is annoying but the alternative is much much worse.
No, it isn't. When you solve a problem, the answer is not to panic and legislate that the problem must never be solved. If you have other problems, work on those.
We already have plenty of technology for dealing with roads that are dangerous. In general, we handle them by preventing pedestrians from using or crossing them, and providing over- or underpasses. This is superior in every way to adding noisemakers to cars. But it's not necessarily the best solution! It's just one that (a) we already have, and (b) is better than what you're calling a superior alternative.
The only reason anyone even considers noisemakers is that they're used to cars that make noise. But a history of doing something the wrong way is a terrible reason to avoid doing it the right way.
The alternative to noisemakers is to completely ban electric cars until there are alternatives to improve bystander safety to equivalent levels. In that scenario you will still have the same noise pollution from cars with real non-simulated miniature explosions so electric carse with noise makers are not worse in that respect. If we did not already have noisy cars then yes perhaps electric cars with noise makers would not be allowed but they would also not be allowed without them.
