ADOT and DPS collaborate to ensure technology is safe

PHOENIX– January 24, 2019 – Technology buffs have a new Arizona license plate option available to them with the introduction of electronic digital plates.

For over a year, the Arizona Department of Transportation has tested this technology on a limited number of its fleet vehicles throughout the state to determine operational capabilities and endurance under multiple weather conditions.

ADOT also collaborated with the Arizona Department of Public Safety to ensure that the look of the plate and its messaging capabilities conform to legal requirements and law enforcement best practices.

The plates, called Rplate Digital License Plates, are LTE-enabled, wireless connected devices similar to a tablet. The license plate number is constantly displayed, and the technology allows for added messages such as “invalid,” “stolen” and other notifications if needed.

While use of the Rplate is authorized by the ADOT Motor Vehicle Division and the Arizona Department of Public Safety, it’s not available at MVD or Authorized Third Party offices. Motorists who wish to buy the plate must do so through participating resellers, including vehicle dealerships and professional auto service providers or the plate manufacturer, Reviver Auto. The plate’s cost is determined by the manufacturer, and MVD does not receive any proceeds from sales.

New Michigan law allows for digital license plates; new technology has potential to generate efficiencies and benefits for consumers, businesses and the state - from Smart City synergies to expedited vehicle registration; Reviver Auto working with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to bring Rplates to Michigan market

Detroit, MI - January 17, 2019 – The Michigan legislature has passed a bill (Public Act 656 of 2018) enabling digital license plate technology in the state of Michigan.  This new technology, which has the potential to generate efficiencies and benefits for consumers, businesses, and the state, offers a digital alternative to today’s 125-year-old stamped metal license.  Reviver Auto, the creator of the Rplate, the world’s first and only digital license plate, will work in conjunction with newly-elected Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, to roll the plates out to interested users in the state of Michigan.

“We are proud to have worked closely with the department of state and Secretary Benson, as well as the Michigan legislature and other public officials, to pass this pioneering bill in the state that invented the automotive industry,” said Reviver Auto Co-founder and CEO Neville Boston.   “We look forward to continuing our great working relationship with the state of Michigan, to not only contribute to a more connected community and bring significant benefits to its citizens and businesses, but to also help fuel the innovation fire right here in the core of the global automotive industry.”

The Rplate, which launched on the roads in California in June 2018, transforms today’s stamped metal license plate into a sleek, digital, high-definition display and offers a platform to simplify daily life with vast potential for future innovation.  The Rplate’s connected car platform can automate vehicle renewals, replacing legacy stickers with digital decals, and add new levels of personalization to the license plate, including promoting charitable causes, passion for a sports team, or even a child’s academic/athletic achievements. The Rplate also enables stolen vehicle and plate detached information, as well as geo-fencing capabilities for business and/or governmental entities.  Future features include Amber and weather alerts, automated parking, trips taken, vehicle miles traveled, marketing capabilities and much more.

Michigan, the home of the automotive industry and the heart of its technology innovations, is the first state in the nation to enact a law to allow implementation of digital license plates, helping to open up a digital gateway to a world of innovation opportunities – from Smart Cities initiatives to autonomous vehicle technology – while also offering new efficiencies for consumers such as simplifying and expediting the process for renewing automobile registration.

The legislation coincides with the upgrading of internal systems at Michigan’s Department of State which will provide effortless integration with the Rplate technology. Reviver Auto and the Secretary of State’s office are eager to partner with Michigan companies and organizations to bring the digital license plates to all interested individuals.

Reviver Auto is also partnering with Michigan-based The Pink Fund to create a Pink Fund-branded digital license plate, as well as digital Pink Fund logos for the Rplate, all of which will help raise funds to support the organization’s mission of providing financial support to help meet basic needs, decrease stress levels and allow breast cancer patients in active treatment to focus on healing while improving survivorship outcomes.

In addition to Michigan, the Rplate, which is currently on the road in California, is anticipated to expand into new states in 2019: the use of digital license plates is fully authorized for Arizona; legislation has been passed in Texas and Florida, and Washington State will conduct a digital license plate study.   In addition, Reviver Auto has begun its international growth with an initial program in Dubai, UAE for a proof of concept in partnership with the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority. The Rplate is available in California through participating auto dealerships, proshops such as Al & Ed’s Autosound, and for preorder at the Reviver Auto website www.reviverauto.com. 

The Rplate is being demonstrated at Booth CC05 at the Automobil-D event (which precedes the Detroit Auto Show) January 14-17.

Susan G. Komen of LA Partners with Reviver Auto to Raise Funds Through Komen-branded Digital License Plates

Susan G. Komen of Los Angeles is the first charity to create a custom cause digital license plate with the Rplate, the world’s first digital license plate; custom digital license plates designed to raise funds to increase access to breast health services and support research

Las Vegas, Nevada –January 7, 2019 – Reviver Auto, creator of the Rplate, the world’s first digital license plate, and Susan G. Komen of Los Angeles County, today announced at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show that they have partnered to create a Susan G. Komen-branded digital license plate that will help raise funds to support the organization’s mission of saving lives and ending breast cancer forever.

Susan G. Komen of Los Angeles County is the nation’s largest Susan G. Komen chapter and the only organization in LA dedicated to combating breast cancer on every front.  The partnership will also enable the activation of digital Susan G. Komen logos for interested Rplate consumers who wish to contribute to, and display their support for, the organization.

“We are so proud that such a great organization, Susan G. Komen of Los Angeles County, is our very first official cause plate partner,” said Reviver Auto Co-founder and CEO Neville Boston.  “One of the key features of the Rplate is its ability to generate DMV-approved digital cause plates individually by consumers.  Because it is digital, the Rplate is able to simplify the cause plate process for charitable organizations and the DMV alike - all while empowering consumers to more easily support their favorite organization.”

“Contributing to a connected community is a core part of Reviver Auto’s mission and we are very grateful to be able to help Susan G. Komen of LA County raise funds and awareness for breast health services and research.”

The Rplate transforms the 125-year old stamped metal license plate into a sleek, digital, high definition display that offers new efficiencies and benefits. The Rplate’s connected car platform will soon automate DMV renewals, replacing legacy stickers with digital decals, and add new levels of personalization to the license plate, including promoting charitable causes such as Susan G. Komen of Los Angeles County, passion for a sports team, or even a child’s academic/athletic achievements via DMV-approved personalized messages (such as “Support Our Troops”, “God Bless America”, “I’d Rather Be Running”).

As part of the partnership with Susan G. Komen of Los Angeles County, specific Rplates will be sold in California with Susan G. Komen of Los Angeles branding and messaging.  A portion of each sale will be donated to Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County.  Reviver Auto will participate in events with Susan G. Komen to raise awareness about the organization, while Rplate users can proudly support the cause on their plate.

“At Susan G. Komen we are always looking for ways to expand awareness and increase our opportunities to further our communities’ access to healthcare. Funds raised through the Rplate will help us do that,” said Mark K. Pilon, Executive Director of Susan G. Komen, Los Angeles County.   “Being on the cutting-edge of the digital revolution is an important way for us to reach our community, and working with Reviver Auto enables us to not only raise funds with a much more efficiently implemented cause plate, but also to make our message more digitally mobile.”

Susan G. Komen Los Angeles County is a primary local resource for people who need breast cancer screening, diagnostic and support services. Through annual events including the MORE THAN PINK Walk™, and individual contributions from donors Komen Los Angeles County raises funds that enable women in our local communities to access crucial breast health services.  Seventy-five percent of all monies raised by the Affiliate stay in Los Angeles County to fund breast health services for people who would not otherwise have access. Twenty-five percent of funds raised supports the Susan G. Komen® Global Research Program.

The Rplate launched onto California roads in mid-2018 under pilot and anticipates expansion into new states in 2019. The use of digital license plates is fully authorized for Arizona; legislation has been passed in Texas and Florida, with Washington State passing legislation to conduct a digital license plate study.

The Rplate is available in California through participating auto dealerships, proshops such as Al & Ed’s Autosound, and for preorder at the Reviver Auto website www.reviverauto.com.  Consumers who are interested in a Susan G. Komen-branded Rplate or adding a Susan G. Komen logo will be able to order online directly from Reviver Auto’s website.

Reviver Auto’s Rplate Pro Emerged Among Thousands as Voted on by Panel of International Judges

Las Vegas, NV– November 1, 2018–Reviver Auto was recognized with a 2019 Global Media Award this week at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas for the Rplate Pro, the world’s first digital license plate. The Rplate Pro is currently on display at SEMA 2018 in distribution partner Al & Ed’s Autosound Booth 12039 in Las Vegas through November 3rd. 

“This is the Rplate Pro’s debut at SEMA, and we could not be prouder that it has been recognized by this distinguished panel of international judges as one of the products most likely to succeed in their home countries,” said Neville Boston, CEO of Reviver Auto. “The Rplate Pro brings unique customization and connectivity opportunities, as well as transformative efficiencies, to consumers and businesses -- and to the future of the automobile.  This global recognition helps validate our mission of an Rplate on every vehicle, and we are very grateful to the SEMA Global Media Awards Program for this honor.”

The SEMA Global Media Awards Program recognizes those companies that manufacture specialty equipment products and accessories that would have mass appeal to consumers in countries outside the United States. The products are voted on by a prestigious group of international journalists who serve as judges.

Launched onto the road in California this summer, the Rplate Pro transforms the standard 125-year-old license plate into a sophisticated, sleek, digital, high definition display that allows consumers to view their vehicle’s telematics and customize the look of their plate by changing the background (black to white / white to black) and adding DMV-approved cause or personal messaging, such as ‘Support Our Troops,’ ‘God Bless America,’ or ‘I’d Rather Be Running.’  As a truly cutting-edge and unique aftermarket product, the Rplate integrates with today’s vehicle styles, offering new efficiencies and benefits to consumers, and its connected car platform automatically reflects registration renewals by replacing legacy stickers with digital decals, and adds new levels of personalization to the license plate.

“The idea of customization and personalization has been growing throughout world,” said Linda Spencer, SEMA director of international and government relations.  "Our goal is to have media experts from around the world determine which new products are likely to succeed in their home markets. The automotive specialty-equipment market is made up of enthusiasts who are passionate about the hobby, and so it’s exciting to see how their love for cars, trucks and SUVs is impacting those throughout the world.”

This year’s program included about 30 judges from 19 countries. Each judge carefully reviewed and evaluated nearly 3,000 product entries at the SEMA Show before selecting the products that they felt would resonate and appeal most to consumers in their home countries.
