MI Drivers Can Now Buy Digital License Plate

Michigan regulators approved the use of digital license plates in the Wolverine State. The plates, called RPlate, come with a smartphone app that allows motorists to switch the plate’s display between a light and dark mode, create a personalized banner message, receive alerts if the vehicle is moving, report the vehicle stolen, and renew their registration. Michigan is the third state, after California and Arizona, to authorize the digital plates. At least 10 more are in the process of following suit. (MLIVE.COM)
