The biggest issue to me will be toll gates and manipulation of the plates to avoid them.

From the article: And an included RFID tag, for the radio frequency identification used to pay automated tolls, means there’s no need for a separate E-ZPass transponder

You would have to figure out how to disable that first.

Ah, $700 and a monthly subscription fee for consolidating an RFID. I now see the benefits....

Also not all toll networks are compatible. Congress set a mandate for the states to work together on it but they missed the deadline. Another deadline was set but it’s almost past that too.

Much less expensive solutions for that out there...
