“A small company in South Carolina is attempting to introduce electronic license plate’s for the state’s cars and trucks. The plates are fairly simple: an electrophoretic display that can display certain bold words when necessary, like ‘STOLEN’ or ‘UNINSURED.’ The benefits of an electronic license plate are interesting. If a driver is doing something wrong, something other drivers should know about, the DMV can beam a sort of scarlet letter message to the license plate over an included wireless connection, like your smartphone has. But there are a few issues; for one, who knows how secure this system is?”
