California: Digital License Plates Track Vehicles
May 28th, 2018Via: Sacramento Bee:
California’s dramatic new license plate is hitting the streets — a digital display board that allows changeable messages controlled by the driver or remotely by fleet managers.
The new plates use the same computer technology as Kindle eBook readers, along with a wireless communication system.
They come with their own computer chips and battery.
“Did you get the license plate of the car that ran you over?”
“Yes, officer, I did. It said, ‘Have a nice day!'”
