It's like the old James Bond gag where the license plate rotates. Like this guy did:

- anigbrowl 4y agoSure, I can think of plenty of movie/cartoon uses for it. But I mean, what's the legal, rational use case? If I report my car stolen and the police care, they can put the license # into a computer and then (in theory) have it be detected by traffic cameras/police car dashcams. An E-ink license plate seems like a solution in search of a problem.
