Slick implementation of this idea with near-future technology. How can you alter your license plate without leaving your car?
When I read about this, I immediately thought to the same idea implemented with futuristic 1941-style technology in Robert Heinlein's novel Methuselah's Children; see the entry for alterable license number.
I seem to recall that 007 had something similar, but with a rotating "drum" of plates, in the 1960's. Comment/Join this discussion ( 0 ) | RSS/XML | Blog This | Additional
