License plate numbers are old fashioned. Can't we get something more secure? E.g. plate numbers that change every hour would be a good start. I don't like to drive around with a giant cookie strapped to my car.




Great, more expensive electronic crap in/on the car to break...

You can say the same about a line of code.

The whole point of plastering a giant UID on your vehicle is so that it can be identified. Security isn't the purpose here.

But the point is that security _can_ be addressed, while still allowing the vehicle to be identified.
