How soon before Facebook has an ad on one?
They’ll need some training in the prison workshops!
Looks like something from a long time in the past that they predicted would be the norm 'in the future'...without any refining. Updates to it showing stolen status and missing people? Such a prime target for some mass mischief!
Looks like a great idea to me. With a simple hack your plate will go blank at the push of a button as you speed past the camera.
In general, Government and Information Technology don't mix well... is my opinion. It's heading for disaster. Also, sticking something 'electronic + verifiable = traceable' springs to mind. It's only a matter of time before some genius/evil mind comes up with a tracker-chip in the plate...

Commyfornia loves wasting money...
Already in lots of cars. My last Range Rover and the new E-Pace both have them fitted. App on the phone shows journeys, mpg, distance, times etc. Only a matter of time (now?) before it's getting hacked by some govt agency.

I imagine cruising the highway and seeing some kind of warning on a licence plate. I want to read, so I move closer to the car in front me. Closer. Bit more and.. ups, too close.
Would love one of those - eat my dust, suckers!
Fas est ab hoste doceri
Absolute triumph of technology making something there was no demand or need for.
Number of times per million a plastic printed plate fails - perhaps 2 ?
Number of times per million these idiotic things are going to fail .... 500? 1000?
- cracked clear screen, faulty display pixels, battery flat, microchip/board failure, too heavy and falls off, hackable more easily, non conformation to the rest of the world.....

It does indeed seem to be a solution to a problem that didn't exist - but I am sure a company is going to be making a shedload of money out of it somewhere.
I am in my 40's, so no luddite, but I do sometimes wonder at the need to use technology to complicate a situation where it is simply not needed or justified.
So clever my foot fell off.
Even if it does become the norm, I don’t think it’ll be for long. As more cars come with embedded chips and connectivity, there will be no need for number plates for the powers that be to identify any vehicle on the road or otherwise.
All it will be is an advertising panel which, again will be quickly superseded by paper thin LCD (or more likely LCD paint) making the whole car an advertising bill board which won’t be a problem because they’ll all be driverless anyway.
Perfect answer to the question nobody ever asked.
Recipe for disaster them
I think that will take a lot longer; car ownership is so well ingrained that it’ll be a long time after the systems are introduced before it truly becomes the norm.
Seventeen year olds today are likely to always want to own/ lease their vehicles so that’s another 50+years and it’s not even been introduced yet!
I still struggle with the concept of leasing a car rather than owning it even though the maths tell me it’s the better option. I’m sure that there are many others like me.
Another case of technology for technologies sake I feel.
not reflective so can't see them coming to us anytime.
Look terrible IMO
A step closer to bladerunner. Next we’ll all be wearing silver suits, carrying neon umbrellas and recharging Darryl Hannah next to our iPhones
