Oh for heaven's sake, that's Philip K. Dick's science-fiction classic.  Amazon is doing a media series based on that book, and wrapping the subway car is (evidently) part of the promotion.  I would note that there has been some care to avoid the use of the swastika in the "Nazi" emblem on the 'new U.S. flag' and probably elsewhere; I would expect a media company to be careful in the use of emotionally-charged symbols in a broadcast project, perhaps much more than in a targeted ad campaign.
