Apple hires engineer who used to work on digital license plates
Apple has been snapping up talent from all over the place ever since it started putting more effort into Project Titan, Cupertino’s electric car initiative. One of its latest hires is veteran software engineer Rónán Ó Braonáin, and according to Electrek, he was the Director of Engineering at a company called Reviver, which is developing what it claims is “the world’s first digital license plate.” These high-tech plates are expected to have wireless connectivity that can alert authorities if a vehicle is stolen or if its registration is expired. It could also give rise to shared vehicle programs, wherein a car can be legally owned by more than one person, each one associated with a unique plate number. The device can simply switch the letters and numbers displayed, depending on who’s driving.
