For the general public, the benefits are minor (stolen car alerts, toll road passes, registraion renewals through the electronic plate, etc.) . However, electronic plates will be a game changer for commercial carriers/semi truck drivers. Companies can just turn off a plate when a driver leaves the business. A surprising amount of companies struggle to get plates back from drivers. This means that they have to contact their local DMV and could run into issues with their safety record if the driver continues running on that plate.
