    Digital license plate

    I understand the words, but the phrase makes no fucking sense whatsoever.

      Reviver’s $29.99 monthly subscription fee.

      Someone, somewhere is making money on these and probably providing kickbacks campaign contributions to get laws passed to allow this sort of stupid.

    Where I live, I see tons of cars every day with fake, missing, invalid, and foreign license plates every day. Enforcement would require cops to get out of their cars and expend effort over an administrative violation, so nothing happens.

    These plates are “illegal”? Meh.

      Where I live, a shockingly high percentage of the fake, invalid, obscured license plates are the cops themselves.

    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.

    A subscription fee for a fucking license plate? We already have that, it’s called registration.

    Imagine a digital plate being a vulnerability. I’m shocked.

    You can also 3D print a regular plate, but at least that doesn’t change on demand.
