License Plates That Let You Skip The DMV

With all the other technology in the automotive market advancing, it was only time before we had “smart plates”. Some might say, why fix it if it’s not broken, but the new plates may have some advantages. Like when your plates are up for renewal, all you have to do is pay online and the tags update themselves…no visits to the DMV.

It’s called the Reviver Plate and is being tested across California. The plate has other features like marking itself “stolen” when you report your car missing or showing information of an Amber Alert. However, consumers won’t be able to change the letters and numbers of the actual plate. The plates cost $700 and have a $7 monthly fee…is it worth it to skip DMV trips?
