Does an ipad work ?

Only way this would work is if it is an option like custom plates. Otherwrise the cost would be a huge factor. Not even counting getting them made but who is responsible for them? Would be an expensive easy to vandalize item. Not to mention the implications of it being hacked... Then what is the next step, a tracking chip in your digital plate?

just no

Won't work. What will all the prisoners do if they can't stamp plates anymore? Big bob is going to lose his factory time to a little asian kid who can solder.

Edit: That NSA/Big brother thought popped up in my head. What's not to stop them from tracking your wear abouts, speed, ect with just a small chip thrown in there? :tinfoilhat:

I'm thinking of forming a political party called "Tracked Enough Already". You need to be willing to be called a racist and terrorist to join, though.

I think an electronic plate would be awesome...to hack.

Also, this would add weight over a conventional metal plate, for those concerned

At that point, why bother with the license plate at all?

If you're going to put in a networked device in every car, make it broadcast an ID to the area, like the IFF transponder on a plane. Buy a simple receiver that can pick up all of the IDs in the area, and install it in a police car. What's the point of having it download data, display that data visually, then have a camera or a human enter that into a different device, only to upload it to the the same database? Skip three steps and just have a transponder on the car that broadcasts the info to any scanner in the vicinity. Who needs plates anyway?

I think this a bad idea. I think something like a OLED low output device could work wonders in theory but in a real world application, its just gonna cost too much and the DMV is gonna charge out the ass for it. And i cant see how secure it can be. It could also cause a lot of hassles with the police department
