1. A system for displaying user-selected information on a designated vehicle, the system comprising:
a user interface, wherein a prospective rider enters a ride request and a display content into the user interface, and wherein the display content is created by the prospective rider and is specific to the ride request;
a display unit on the designated vehicle, the display unit having a unique identification number, a display medium, and a client; and
a server associated only with the designated vehicle and in communication with a cloud-based server,
wherein the server is in communication with the client,
wherein, when the ride request results in the designated vehicle being selected and accepted to fulfill the ride request, the client receives the display content from the server and requests the display device medium to display the display content,
wherein the display unit, upon receiving the display request, sends the client a challenge including the unique identification number to match, and
wherein, if the client matches the challenge, the display medium displays the display content such that the display content is viewable from outside the designated vehicle for at least a portion of a time period between when the ride request is entered and when the ride request is fulfilled, and, if the client does not match the challenge, the display medium will not display the display content.
