You had better care about this. Governor Inslee is thinking about a presidential run. The stupidity that runs rampant in Washington State can soon run rampant everywhere

Before Washington even had this idea this was already going to be mandated nationally on cars made after 2022 or so. It's not tied to your license plate but correlating it is easy enough.

"The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing a requirement that every car should broadcast a cleartext message specifying its exact position, speed, and heading ten times per second." The RF broadcast would be on Channel 172 on the 5.9 GHz band at ~15 dBm (the minimum suggested) to achieve a 300m range. The purpose would be to aid autonomous vehicles.

These cleartext messages sound like they'll be signed with a rotating set of some ~tens of keys as a basic protection against some kinds of spoofing.

The dangers of spoofing a system (ie, GPS or this) used by autonomous vehicles to plan routes is obvious. The dangers of yet another source of location data may not be.

It can be argued that people have already given up on not being tracked everywhere due to the prevalence of tracking smart phones (both software/gps and basestation/multilateration) and of license plate readers and their databases.

But at least those things are mostly optional. Mandating this broadcast on all cars is a major change even if the range is nominally only 300m.

It sounds somewhat similar to an already existing NHTSA creation: the tire pressure monitoring system (tpms) that already exist in some vehicles/tires. These signals can uniquely identify a vehicle and can be received with $8 dvb-t usb sticks used as software defined radios (rtlsdr) and decoded using https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433

Wtf is this on top of the mileage tax they also want? There's been proposals of 4cent per mile, with GPS to exclude out of state.

This is what happens when californians lay waste to their own state and move on to their next target. Washington, Oregon, Colorado, metro Texas... This is exactly what happens.

And this is why Washingtonians always resisted California. But now the Seattle area might as well be like a California city

Brainwash citizens. Raise taxes to disperse the infection to surrounding areas.

And I propose grabbing a gun, joining a militia, and fucking killing anyone who passes legislation like that. Restrict my freedom of movement and right to privacy. Invalidate the purpose of my car as private property. I DARE YOU.

Joined just to add a bit to this conversation. I work with a company that installs CCTV Cameras. Some states already have high resolution cameras installed on the interstate systems that can read your license plate number. If that links back to a database, which in some cases it does, they have you tracked at least to that level.

The goal is to turn every road into a toll road ...

The only thing stopping these fucks from doing this before was the fact that it was infeasible until now. Once Washington gets it, the hand-rubbing kikes in every other state will want it.

Imagine how much less traffic there will be when roads are no longer free use. And the low-IQs likely to crash their hoopy into you will choose to drive less.

You don't fight a rogue government by playing by their rules as they do what they please. If you want to be the better man when shit really hits the fan, then save yourself the trouble and hang yourself tonight.
