Electronic Updatable License Plates Could Flash “STOLEN” Or “UNINSURED”

“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?”
