Bermuda to Put RFID Tags in Every Vehicle Nationwide

Engadget's Evan Blass reports that Bermuda has announced plans to "slap RFID tags on every single car, truck and motorcycle in the country, in an effort to exert more control over a road system which is said to carry the world's highest density per square mile of motor traffic."


"Consisting of vehicle-mounted transmitters and portable and stationary readers, the so-called electronic vehicle registration system promises to reduce the number of non-compliant vehicles on the road to below one percent while at the same time recouping some $11 million in fines that would otherwise have been lost over a five year period," Blass writes. "To stifle privacy concerns, Bermuda's Transport Control Department mandated that the 3M-built tags only contain vehicle-specific data, and not personal driver information."
