Its only a issue in countries and states where the plate is tied to owner, not the vehicle. Here you sell the car and plate goes with it, while some states the you own the plate, it being tied to you, requiring the plate to be removed when sold. I guess the idea is to just use app to wipe the plate holder when sold, but this is still stupid as fuck...looking problem to be solved, instead of looking answer to a problem.
@@Hellsong89it takes like 30 seconds to take off 4 screws … there is no logical reason for this to exist beside “let’s make everything digital” which is stupid
@@Hellsong89 what state do you live in? Most states I'm familiar with make you hang on to the plate when you sell the car. 2 (or maybe 4) screws on a metal plate are easy to deal with, and there is no need for special wiring or programming.
God forbid anyone vomit felonies or worse traffic violations. Jokes aside people like to speed and run red lights, but don't want to pay a ticket for it. As for why the government would want to use digital license plates instead of physical ones it's as simple as digital license plates can be reused for many different plate numbers where physical license plates must be destroyed by the state. The hypothesis is that, in the long run, digital license plates will save the government money.
@@tjfjt this ignores that plates will fail because the sun destroys everything. Don't get me wrong Unlike to speed to though but time and place.

I'd say that not needing to replace the registration sticker every year is a pretty big benefit. You ever tried to replace one? Doesn't matter how well you clean your plates, only the first one ever sticks properly, every sticker after that _will_ have curled edges after a few weeks if it doesn't fall of entirely.
@@Ink_25 Nope, you just go to the DMV every year to renew the registration, and take the car in every other year for emissions testing (which is really just them checking for error messages, they haven't actually tested emissions since 2008) Once the registration is renewed they mail you the stickers to put on for yourself; some garages will put them on if you ask, but they usually just slap it on without even cleaning the dust off and the sticker just falls off as you pull out. EDIT:: you need to take the vehicle in for emissions _before_ they'll let you renew. So, no, you cannot ask the emissions person to put the sticker on.

Over here (Austria) you can have "swapable" liscence plates, that are registered to multiple cars and can be swapped between them (no idea if that's a thing in the US). So I guess it could make sense in that scenario as well. Although its only 8 screws in total to remove the front & back plate, so yea, no point in having that
@@NoFluI don't see the point of that. Why not just have 2 plates and they share the cost of registration, since only one is supposed to be operated at a time

More of politicians owning peace of company that come up these things to find problem to solve, instead finding solution to a problem, unless its to make shit ton of money by forcing populous to swap into new system...
Is literally the stupidest thing ever like no amount of weatherproofing can protect electronics forever One rear end, fender, bender and you got a buy an entirely new license plate And because it’s technology, it has batteries that could short and die or explode And what is a fender bender causes your battery to explode in your car catches on fire and it’s not covered by your insurance because you put the digital license plate on the back of your car now you’re fucked
There’s an r word I want to use for the person who first thought this was a good idea then the subsequent people who approved it. Why an electronic board that can easily break, malfunction, or be altered replaced a painted metal sheet that can deform but still be legible is a question that shouldn’t have been needed to be asked. The only logical reason I see is that an electronic one would glow, but a regular one does anyways.
So this company is actually being super cool and selling people customizable plates to avoid cops 😂 “oh no sorry gub can’t fix it unless the customer brings it to us”
I personally like the idea of digital license plates and I remember watching a presentation for them at my states DOT meeting one year. While sure, they need a secure way to prevent tampering, one feature I particularly likes was when a vehicle was reported stolen, the license plate would be remotely updated to display 'STOLEN' across the plate. I don't think I need to get into how useful that is. It's irrelevant, however, if it is easy to tamper with.
This reminds me of an idea I had a while ago of a system to hide a license plate behind a curtain or something, in the event of getting pulled over. I never imagined that could become feasible.
This seems like one of those things that people get so that they can legally have their plates showing and then put privacy screens on it so you legally cant receive tickets
Yknow, there's a lot of people asking "why was this made" without considering this is by far 100% another way people will potentially be tracked in the future, just wait and see.
Except... it's way more reliable to track someone based on their physical licence plate. A digital licence plate, at best, has the same advantages of a physical one, but has like a ton of additional downsides.
@ we’re talking about license plates here you know? Whataboutism at its finest. And there’s a real reason why the term Florida man exists but you just dont know it, but google is free my friend. Use it

I heard there is talks of the making a digital license plate for Florida, but I don't think they'll do it. God I hope I move back to Florida. The only state that have digital license plate for now are California and Michigan
Here in the UK the plate is tied to the car and is a perminant number. It doesnt change annually. Road tax is recorded on a database matched to the number. (Before that we put a paper disc we bought annually in the car windscreen to show tax) Cheaper and simpler.
Reminds me of the guy who had the custom plate “null” and started getting every ticket where the officer forgot to put a plate number, assigned to him instead and suddenly had thousands in tickets
There's only two reasons why someone would want this Number 1: Nobody has to take their time stealing someone else's physical license plate to commit crimes Number 2: To run Doom
Send the bill to the license plate maker. Include a letter that asks them to take care of it and if they choose not to, to refer to the 3rd piece of paper which would be a law suit.
😅Why can't people just use regular metal number plates , if you realy want modernisation ,government should put a QR code on in a corner of the plate that provides a direct link to the vehicle registration in govt data base 😊
They already have that in their cars when they scan your plate if they have those npr cameras. It's just a flawed idea. A metal plate is as good as it gets. The wr code just allows random people to know too much about you without actually knowing you which ain't great for preventing stalking. It suffers from the same idea that shit can be hacked, we don't need another problem
By lowering the bar to entry (speaking of criminal behavior of third parties), they've just made "preponderance of evidence" a lot more difficult. "Your honor, somebody stole my plate to implicate me in a crime I didn't commit" is hard to believe, "Your honor, my license plate got hacked, our expert witness even figured out how they could have done it" is a lot more effort to dismiss. Not that they won't dismiss cases even when standing before innocent people, because judges don't understand technology
Imagine someone from like Germany dose this with your lisence plate and you open your mailbox and your like "how am i getting German tickets i haven't even been to Germany"
I think these digital plates have some sort of transponder or something to wirelessly deal with tolls, but that doesnt require a screen, nor does it need to be something that goes on the license plate.
@@lexwelsh3511 It doesnt require a screen. Case in point the EZ-pass for the pennsylvania turnpike just involves getting a transponder that sticks to your windshield instead of anything on your plate.
26 Years from now, Someone will Realize that a Sheet of Metal Can be shaped to form letters and can be put onto vehicles for identification without worry of water damage, short circut, or illegal license plate modification.
Imagine just going on the highway and a rock flew into the front digital plate, breaking it, and you only find out after police had already given you a ticket because your front plate is "obstructed"
Yeah, it isn't the impact that it has on innocent ppl by essentially stealing another plate number they're concerned about, it's the money the state can't collect from the rejected tickets, that they'll fine the plate maker for. Neither the state nor the company could care less about what happens to you.
I mean if anybody gets a fraudulent citation from this, you could easily just argue that it wasnt the car regisitered to your plate, so it wasnt your car, and therefore youre not the responsible party
whoever actually thought it was a good idea to take a physical plate and replace it with a fake electronic one deserves jail time fr cuz you know they just tryna get away with moving some contraband type cargo or something like there’s no way anyone thought this was actually a good idea. oh wait nvm i live in america nvm this is probably the smartest thing we’ve done in the last 25 years tbh
It's unreasonable, and aren't we trying to stop wasting materials. We never needed an expensive, energy crawing license plate, that could keep criminals on the road. Whoever thought that was a good idea, and also the people who acccepted it as state legal, should really rethink their choices.
there is one noteable issue with that, it's the fact that ALL license plate are tied to which cars which, so a different car such as Chery as the actual car and using the jailbroken one and displaying the number technically doesnt work since when they pull up the information,it states from a completely DIFFERENT car such as Audi for example, the only way it will still happen to you is from the police using automated process just to give you the ticket but you can EASILY win the case since when you have the car?
You can just find someone else with the same model and color of car, which is easy to do. Write down their license plate and flash it to your own digital plate. Obviously, they'd realize if you were using a totally random plate number to hide your real plate. But if it belongs to a car of the same description, they would have nothing on record to tell which is actually which, or even suspect that there's a problem at all.
Yea given the amount of data collected about people or leaked in breaches I would imagine you could buy a list on the dark web if this became a thing. Just a list of similar vehicle registrations that you can just swap through that could be updated. Not to mention if it doesn't exist it could be created easily given how bad government investment in cybersecurity is
If your plate number is stolen or faked you are not responsible for any of the violations or criminal activity. You don’t have to pay those fines. This happens even now with metal plates.
How is this better than a simple sheet of metal? It's certainly not as durable, and definitely not cheaper.

I think these digital plates have some sort of transponder or something to wirelessly deal with tolls, but that doesnt require a screen, nor does it need to be something that goes on the license plate.
@@Abstract_zxThat’s good I think, but I agree that this does not require a screen. I think it’s just people trying to make money.
@@lexwelsh3511 It doesnt require a screen. Case in point the EZ-pass for the pennsylvania turnpike just involves getting a transponder that sticks to your windshield instead of anything on your plate.
@@Abstract_zx The EZ-pass system is a great example. No screens - just a little rectangle with some chips in it and it works just fine.
Digital license plates are one thing that definitely shouldn’t be a thing, and they should outright ban this immediately!
Gee, I can’t wait to run doom on my license plate
26 Years from now, Someone will Realize that a Sheet of Metal Can be shaped to form letters and can be put onto vehicles for identification without worry of water damage, short circut, or illegal license plate modification.
We got license plate customization IRL before GTA 6
I'm already waiting for a "DOOM" plate .
Imagine just going on the highway and a rock flew into the front digital plate, breaking it, and you only find out after police had already given you a ticket because your front plate is "obstructed"
Can’t wait to play doom on a license plate!
When the hackers start playing Doom on your license plate
Yeah, it isn't the impact that it has on innocent ppl by essentially stealing another plate number they're concerned about, it's the money the state can't collect from the rejected tickets, that they'll fine the plate maker for. Neither the state nor the company could care less about what happens to you.
To be fair, someone can also get a sticker to put on their metal license plate with someone else's number on it. Nobody is gonna notice either way.
I mean if anybody gets a fraudulent citation from this, you could easily just argue that it wasnt the car regisitered to your plate, so it wasnt your car, and therefore youre not the responsible party
Criminals already copy (or simply steal) regular license plates.
We really are living in a digital age
whoever actually thought it was a good idea to take a physical plate and replace it with a fake electronic one deserves jail time fr cuz you know they just tryna get away with moving some contraband type cargo or something like there’s no way anyone thought this was actually a good idea. oh wait nvm i live in america nvm this is probably the smartest thing we’ve done in the last 25 years tbh
Say it with me now: "Not everything has to be digital and/or computerized."
It's unreasonable, and aren't we trying to stop wasting materials. We never needed an expensive, energy crawing license plate, that could keep criminals on the road. Whoever thought that was a good idea, and also the people who acccepted it as state legal, should really rethink their choices.
Fuck me, I need to get myself one of these.
there is one noteable issue with that, it's the fact that ALL license plate are tied to which cars which, so a different car such as Chery as the actual car and using the jailbroken one and displaying the number technically doesnt work since when they pull up the information,it states from a completely DIFFERENT car such as Audi for example, the only way it will still happen to you is from the police using automated process just to give you the ticket but you can EASILY win the case since when you have the car?
You can just find someone else with the same model and color of car, which is easy to do. Write down their license plate and flash it to your own digital plate. Obviously, they'd realize if you were using a totally random plate number to hide your real plate. But if it belongs to a car of the same description, they would have nothing on record to tell which is actually which, or even suspect that there's a problem at all.
Yea given the amount of data collected about people or leaked in breaches I would imagine you could buy a list on the dark web if this became a thing. Just a list of similar vehicle registrations that you can just swap through that could be updated. Not to mention if it doesn't exist it could be created easily given how bad government investment in cybersecurity is
oh noooo, well anyways imma continue living my life in Estonia.
wasnt Estonia the country that tried to do internet voting?
These are one of those, if it ain't broken don't fix it type of deal, 404 NOT FOUND ass license plates
If your plate number is stolen or faked you are not responsible for any of the violations or criminal activity. You don’t have to pay those fines. This happens even now with metal plates.
Someone once said we’re over engineered stuff and they are 100% right…
When people ask why I don't have a smart thermostat or other "smart" tech - this stuff is why.
We got digital license plates before GTA 6 dang 💀
