FOSTER CITY, CA – MAY 30: A digital license plate made by Bay Area company Reviver Auto, part of a pilot project with the state Department of Motor Vehicles, is displayed on Tesla car at Reviver Auto headquarters on May 30, 2018 in Foster City, California. California is the first state in the U.S. to test digital license plates on vehicles. According to the California State Department of Motor Vehicles, there are currently 116 cars in California that are part of a pilot program testing the new plates that will eventually be sold at auto dealerships for $699 plus installation costs. Digital plates are expected to roll out in Florida, Arizona, and Texas later this year. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
