So, you have been uncool 3 months longer than planned...
Digital license plates?

True, more efficient. But it just feels so big brothery... tech like this with the wrong kind of ppl (left or right) in charge makes it easier to create a police state. China is pioneering this.
From what i can tell in cedar rapids, license plates are completely optional now, just a courtesy if you feel like it. Like turn signals.
Also, wonder how long it'll take for people to hack them and change the number when going through speed camera zones?
It's bad enough what it costs me to register my vehicle in Nebraska, I don't want to add an additional $240 a year on top.
Yeah I don't see what "problem" this is solving for me.
Website says 3 to 6 WEEKS.
Somebody flunked basic measurement.
As for cool, yeah well. I gave that up when I had to join the Mennonite Mafia and buy a black car.
I figured Covid Kim had figured out who was behind all my "helpful" posts on Twitter.
I'd be all over this if you could send messages to the people behind you.
Then I shouldn’t be taxed for school funding since I have no kids. It’s a slippery slope
But in the current ICE dynamic you are paying road tax based on the amount gasoline you use. With electric vehicles, that can be replaced by a flat registration tax or a use tax via milage with a tracking system. Personally, I don't care either way as long as it is consistent between ICE and electric. What we have today is not.
Furthermore, going forward you may see states work to recoup taxes based on where the vehicle is driven rather than where it is registered. So people commuting over state borders could pay taxes for where they drive and not necessarily where they live.
There are a lot of possibilities for this and not all of them are bad. But I'm not sure why you'd have to tie it to a license plate. Seems it could be cheaper to add it anywhere else in the car.
