In a statement, the company noted that jailbreaking a digital license plate to avoid tolls, tickets, or other law enforcement surveillance “would be a criminal act subject to prosecution by law enforcement.” The company adds that “the jailbreak technique identified by IOActive requires physical access to the vehicle and plate, plate removal, specialized tools, and expertise” and that “this scenario is highly unlikely to occur in real-world conditions, limiting it to individual bad actors knowingly violating laws and product warranties.” Reviver's statement didn't give any suggestion that it plans to replace its hardware or otherwise fix the problem.
lol, so basically they won't fix it because it's illegal to hack something

Also, requiring physical access isn't a deterrent because the whole issue is people jailbreaking their own license plates so they can change it to someone else's.
This nonsensical corpo speak already makes me dislike this company.

Does that mean hackers are better than toll ticket keepers?
