California is rolling out a digital license plate to take the place of metal license plates on cars. Don't worry though, when it gets stolen, it has a tracking device in it to send out a search party to go find it. And of course that tracking device would never be used by the state to monitor your location. These $700 license plates, will surely be heralded for saving postage however. California still requires two plates on your car, so to bask in all the savings and convenience, you will need to fork out $1400 for both plates, but the savings does not stop there. There is also a $7 monthly service fee. I don't know, but something tells me this is more about tracking vehicles, than about savings and convenience. And of course every little fender bender is apt to leave your car without a plate that can be read as well, but surely you would not be ticketed for no plate while waiting for your new one to show up. But the plates can show advertising while the car is parked, so there's that. Thanks cageymaru.
A company named Reviver Auto makes and sells these R Plate Pro tags. It has yet to be determined who his brother-in-law in the California government is.
Under the pilot program rules, the state can allow up to one-half of 1 percent of the state's 35 million vehicles — or about 175,000 vehicles — to use the plates during the test period.
