Digital license plates sold by Reviver, already legal to buy in some states and drive with nationwide, can be hacked by their owners to evade traffic regulations or even law enforcement surveillance.
Why even look at the numbers at all? Just make it a meshtastic thing that you hook up to the car’s battery. Or maybe a AAA battery thing that is solar powdered and you stick it to your windshield.
Because the primary reader of a car’s identity is still visual, be it by eye or by camera. Swapping out every plate camera (arguments against scanners notwithstanding) and making it impossible for humans to read plates sounds very destructive at this time.
Anecdotal inconvenience: Teslas have a high rate of vanity plates in my area. I suspect it’s because they park in the same places and owners can’t tell them apart with 2 common models (3 and X) and 4 total colors (white, red, blue, black). Holding the fob is not something people do with touch/proximity unlock
