I remember something about this in relation to the Apple Car. It was around car sharing and the car being able to be 'transferred to your registration' while you were using it.

Something like that.

But can you still throw mud on it, so that the Cops can't read it??? :joke::joke::joke::joke::joke:

that's pretty cool, I like that. Not only from a tech but also from a green standpoint.

Curious though, I wonder how "hackable" it is.

I'm figuring that Agent 007 will have a lot of fun with it... :roflblack:

Yikes...!!!

i can see more problems than it's worth...there is a video out there with these and they have them changing numbers and states as they go along the highway and even a retractable one for the front for when you enter states that require two plates..:yikes:

Technology going where it is not needed or wanted.

Just because you CAN do it doesn't mean you SHOULD do it.

What they say above.

Technology? Wonderful? Look at the cost. $699 plus $7 per month. This will be comparable to some states already.

However, I am liking my FREE, PERMANENT plate for seniors in Alaska. We get one of those per family. The MC still cost me $200 each every two years.

And the possibilities are becoming endless for Big Brother to watch us even more.

I am against the "new" plates. :thumbup:

Just think they will be able to check your speed while the cop is sitting in the doughnut shop . :joke:
