Except for vanity plates, used cars keep the same plates in California.

If you don’t have time to get a photo you probably don’t have time to get the make. I’ve seen plenty of hit and run news reports where the witness just says “dark colored SUV”.

License plates need to be easy for humans to read and remember.

Can lights are held in place by spring clips.

You can just tug them down and unclip the wire, then poke a camera up the hole to peek at the studs.

I think can light housings usually are not attached to studs.

In hit and run accidents, human memory is what needs to be supported by the technology.

Therefore license plates should be designed for maximum mnemonic potential, not CPU efficiency.

Harder to remember than if they group letters and numbers.

Right now remember 1 digit that’s usually 8 or 9, then 3 letters and 3 numbers So 8WTF420 is easier to remember than WT842F0.

BMI compared weight to height squared and is known to be inaccurate for the very large and very small.

A fairer comparison would be simple cubic scaling, which gives roughly 1000x the height and width of a large adult.

To play devil’s advocate, why does Valve need to bother to make their own controller when there are a number of wired and wireless controllers available for PCs?
