E-License Plate: Wave of the Future or Menace? » The Epoch Times
The latest development in license plate technology is in South Carolina, where lawmakers are considering an invention similar to a Kindle reader.
“It’s the first of its kind,” co-inventor David Findlay told the local CBS affiliate. “It’s not an LCD or an LED. What it’s made of is electronic paper.”
The e-plate is designed to look just like a conventional license plate, with the added advantage of remote adjustment. Connected via the cellular network, this system allows the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to automatically update driver registration, or alert police with e-plate text if the vehicle is “STOLEN,” a license is “SUSPENDED,” or the driver is “UNINSURED.”

A hacker's dream.
