    <snip> Speeding incidents could be logged on the spot, with the plate either citing an offender directly or sending the violator’s location to the nearest authorities. Registration and insurance status could be shown for all to see, giving police, and everyone else on the road, a preemptive indication of any such illegal behavior. <snip>

    Guess we will no longer need a smog test, the ECU will just upload daily DTC's to the DMV.

    Or will it tax us on the number of miles driven, in real time.. hope you have 'credits' in your account for that ride.

    Like rfid credit cards you could remotely read dissassemble and copy them opening up a whole new world of fraud, hmm where does the F1 driver live? What's his social?

    Nothing like expanding the totally failed security through obscurity concept online banking follows.

    If anyone truly cared about security online transactions directly with bank accounts or CCs would be banned.

    Somebody really wants everyone's private data in the open, That way Chinese SFO can more easily open fake accounts as it should be
