I don't get it
What's the advantage? Not having to put a sticker on your plate every year? Is that such a task for operators of commercial fleets that they'd rather rent a plate for an extra $20/month? How does the plate get the information that it has been updated, does that happen automatically via 5G or something, or does it require a manual process no less labor intensive than applying a sticker?
Since there is only one supplier of this technology, it sounds like the standard political grift we see everywhere. Just like DeSantis got a big contribution from the guy who operated his massively overpriced kidnapping of asylum seekers from Texas to Martha's Vineyard, no doubt Newsome has received or will receive a huge contribution from the guy who owns this company. $240 per year times the millions of fleet vehicles in California adds up to a big chunk of change towards a future presidential campaign.
