	The UK Department for Transport has given the go-ahead for a trial of RFID-enabled license plates. Unlike passive RFID (which transmits only over short distances), the e-Plate license plates use active RFID technology to transmit vehicle identification numbers and other data to readers over 300 feet away.

	300 feet isn't enough distance for a useful tracking system. I could see this being useful on a car lot to take inventory or as a toll pass (like NY state's E-Z pass), though. __________________ Off to take on other challenges. Good luck everybody! See you around the Interwebs.
