I think we will start to see more of this in any field in the futuere. I don't know if its reached the market yet but I've heard talk of it in the automotive engineering community. Car parts not related to electronic control get embedded RFID chips to strengthen the immobilizer, you can not start the car if some piece of plastic isn't signed. Might sound attractive at first as the car gets harder to steal, just replacing a few ecus is not sufficient, but what if you yourself want to replace a spare part using a third party workshop.
