Digital license plates sold by Reviver, already legal to buy in some states and drive with nationwide, can be hacked by their owners to evade traffic regulations or even law enforcement surveillance.

    I don’t even need a hacker for this. I have been getting someone’s violations for the last 3 months despite the offending car having a totally different plate, model, make and color. They still insist it’s my fault somehow.

        The average person thinks digital = magic! and marketers/governments, etc are well aware of that, and will abuse that fact anytime they can.

        Ever had to explain to someone that “the cloud” isn’t a physical cloud in the sky keeping their passwords & nudes safe? I have way too many times.

              Service plans also enable location services and geofencing for wired RPlate users

              So some of the plates do have that function built in and you have to pay monthly to use it.

      It doesn’t even matter if there is a benefit to doing so. It will be hacked because it exists. Simply because it is there.
