The Motor Vehicle Digital Number Plates Bill (AB 984), passed earlier this month, allows California vehicle owners to use the digital plates, made exclusively by California company Reviver.They are the same shape and size as traditional license plates, and give users the option to change the plate's background color by toggling between a light or dark mode.The bill's passage follows a successful pilot program in which approximately 10,000 California drivers demoed the new technology.The digital, tablet-like license plates raise privacy and safety fears — concerns the bill addresses by banning them from using GPS except in certain cases, like on fleet and commercial vehicles."AB 984 strikes a necessary balance between innovation and privacy while digitizing the only thing on our cars today that remain antiquated, license plates," said Assemblymember Lori D. Wilson (D-Suisun City)."
