"...specially designed billboards for a personalized message display. The message might contain the driver's name, mention a special feature on the car such as its color or a unique roof rack, and deliver a customized greeting. The idea is to make a driver feel he is part of the Mini Cooper family..." And we say we value privacy.

Just think of the fun you could have hacking the backend database to say whatever YOU wanted the billboard to say when your ex-wife drive past.
Yea, well... sound like fun anyway

Proof-of-concept experiment for a future project that's not nearly so cute.

Wait until Osama al Badonkadonk signs up ... "Hey Osama in the blue Cooper! ..."
That could make for an interesting rush hour.

A couple years ago, I was following a mini. My daughter was with me, and there was another mini approaching us coming the other way. I said to my daughter "I'll bet you ten bucks they flesh eachother the peace sign." They did! She laughed and wondered how I knew that, but she still owes me the ten bucks.

The server containing drivers' data is protected by a firewall. Even if the information from the RFID tag was stolen, the only thing hackers could pilfer from the chip is the anonymous random code assigned to the driver. No personal information, such as an address or bank account number, is contained in the RFID tag. No, it's just flashed on a frikkin billboard.

Cute little guys...they look like a pregnant roller skate!

"I'll bet you ten bucks they flesh eachother the peace sign." I don't even wanna know what that looks like.

I meant flash, not flesh the peace sign. :)
