- FAIL
- Out of order parking meter reads “FAIL.” Looking forward to seeing one that says “pwned” next time.

A SCANNER DARKLY.

Look closely below the right tail-light. You’re starting to see these new square bar codes everywhere. Their design makes them easier to capture with a portable scanner, such as a smart phone. It only makes sense that they would now show up on vehicles.
Think about how old-school it is for cops to have to pull up close enough to read off a license plate into the radio Adam-12 style: “Alpha Charlie Diamond, One, Four, Six. Tags are current. Copy?” when instead they could convey all the information with a quick scan of the bar code.
Expect to see these on vehicles everywhere, sooner than you think.
