California testing digital license plates that cost more than your first car - Duration: 3:56.

The technology that powers Amazon's Kindle is coming to your bumper — at least if you

live in California and are willing to pay a not-insignificant amount of money for it.

The Golden State launched a pilot program in its capital of Sacramento to test a digital

license plate that ambitiously promises to streamline the lives of motorists, help businesses

reach more clients, and possibly keep fellow drivers entertained.

The device looks like a large, license plate-sized tablet.

It is, in a way, except it's not touch-sensitive.

It's equipped with its own battery and computer chip, and it looks just like a standard-issue

California plate in its most basic configuration.

The vehicle's registration number appears front and center, along with information about

when the car's registration expires, California's script logo, and a link to the DMV's website.

Users can change the color of the font or the background and display short messages

directly below the registration number.

If the car is parked, they can also move the registration number to a corner and display

a much larger message, like an advertisement.

The Sacramento Bee reports digital license plates could let motorists renew their registration

without having to place a sticker on their car's rear license plate.

Police officials can also use the license plate to track a stolen car, though this becomes

a moot point if the thief removes the plate and tosses it in a ditch.

As you'd expect, the technology isn't cheap.

Reviver Auto, the California-based company that designed and manufactures the plates,

charges $699 for the device.

That figure doesn't include the cost of installation and the $7 monthly fee users

need to pay.

Motorists must purchase the plates from authorized dealerships; they're not available through

the DMV like standard-issue license plates.

To date, 11 new car dealerships have signed up to sell the digital license plate.

One is in Sacramento, three are in the San Francisco area, and the rest are located in

or near Los Angeles.

Arizona will soon approve use of the plates as part of a pilot program.

There's no word yet on when (or if) other states will allow the technology on their

roads.

Reviver Auto founder Neville Boston acknowledges the technology is expensive, but he argues

it's an investment that makes sense for certain users.

Speaking to the Sacramento Bee, he explained that companies and local governments will

look into the technology to manage their fleet of vehicles.

It could also attract businesses who want to use the plate as their own mini billboard.

And Sacramento officials purchased 24 digital license plates as part of a pilot program

designed to prepare for real-world testing of autonomous cars.

"The city envisions using this technology as a way to help the deployment of autonomous

cars.

If we can actually have a platform for us to see where the cars are operating, how they're

operating, and get reports back about vehicle miles traveled and locations, and we can actually

geo-fence certain areas and restrict them to certain areas of the city; that's how

we envision using this plate," explained Louis Stewart, the city's chief innovation

officer.

On the other side of the globe, Dubai launched a similar pilot program in a bid to make life

easier for drivers.

California doesn't need a provocateur in the Senate. It needs a leader. Reelect Dianne Feinstein - Duration: 8:53.

With the election of President Trump, California politicians have had to defend the state's interests and values in the face of an often hostile administration

Some have sought to find common ground with the president while pushing back against more odious policies; others have simply declared war

After all, this is the home of "The Resistance." That tension over how to work with an unreliable and frequently unwilling partner in the Oval Office and an unfriendly Republican majority in Congress is at the heart of the race for California's U

S. Senate seat. Incumbent Democrat Dianne Feinstein, who began her tenure in the Senate in 1992, is running for a fifth six-year term, and, for the first time in many years, she's facing a serious challenger: state Sen

Kevin de León. The Los Angeles Democrat is the self-described leader of the anti-Trump resistance

Advertisement Feinstein, in the view of de León and other critics, is too centrist to represent liberal California and too accommodating to Trump

When she said last August that she hoped Trump could be "a good president" if he could learn and change, and she urged people to have "patience" with him as he responded to Hurricane Harvey, there was a collective howl from the left

Trump? Good president? Patience? How dare she! But that criticism misses the point of who Feinstein is, what she's done — and what she's capable of

No, she is not going to be a masterful troller on Twitter; that's more the province of Rep

Ted Lieu (D-Torrance). Nor is she prone to throwing red meat to the partisan faithful

"I'm not a name-caller," she says. We've got enough provocateurs, rigid ideologues and rhetoricians in Washington

We need more people who can unite divided constituencies to get things done. Share quote & link After 2½ decades in the Senate, Feinstein is a pragmatist grounded in the reality of what is and isn't possible

Pragmatism may be underrated in the current political climate, but here's what it means for California: Few Democratic senators are in a better position to hold the line against Trump's regressive agenda and to defend the state's interests

That's why California voters should reelect Feinstein to another term. Feinstein has been a champion for key California issues for decades, including environmental protection, comprehensive immigration reform and gun control, to name just a few

She was the author of the temporary ban on assault weapons in 1994, and she has long sought to revive the ban and pass other common sense gun-control measures — though she has been thwarted by the National Rifle Assn

's power on Capitol Hill. She steered the Desert Protection Act through Congress in 1994, creating Death Valley and Joshua Tree national parks, and she successfully lobbied President Obama in 2016 to create three new national monuments, placing 1

8 million acres of desert habitat under federal protection. Her high-ranking position on the Senate Appropriations Committee means she's helped steer billions of federal dollars to California projects, from subway construction to wildfire restoration

And as head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, she led the drive to expose the Central Intelligence Agency's use of torture in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks

At 84, Feinstein is the oldest sitting U.S. senator, and that's raised questions about her ability to serve another full six-year term

But in interviews and hearings, Feinstein still shows a firm grasp of complicated policies and a deep understanding of the complex choices facing the country, both domestically and abroad

She will face 31 rivals on the June primary ballot, although de León is by far the most serious challenger (no seasoned Republicans entered the race)

He has spent much of his 11 years in the Legislature working to lift up low- and moderate-income Californians

He pushed through landmark bills to direct money from the state's climate change program to the poorest, most polluted communities and to create the nation's first state-sponsored retirement savings program for low-income Californians who aren't covered by a pension or 401(k) plan

If this were an open seat in a different political environment with a different president, de León would be a strong contender

But Feinstein's experience and influence are too important to pass up. Besides, de León has already declared that he won't work with the president

"I recognized from Day 1 that this is a president you can't negotiate with," de León said during an interview with the Editorial Board

His distaste for our mercurial, dishonest and reckless president is understandable

But on the other hand, how does he expect to get anything accomplished as a legislator if he won't deal with the person who signs the bills? Granted, de León may just be spouting off hyperbolic campaign rhetoric

Still, we've got enough provocateurs, rigid ideologues and rhetoricians in Washington

We need more people who can unite divided constituencies to get things done, while also knowing when to stand firm on matters of principle

We need lawmakers who recognize that Congress serves no purpose if it can't end the paralysis and tackle the problems facing this country

Trump has certainly changed the game and raised the stakes in D.C., but that's all the more reason to stick with Feinstein

She has the seniority, the gravitas and the experience. Why trade all the value she brings to California for a freshman senator now? Follow the Opinion section on Twitter @latimesopinion and Facebook

California Sanctuary Mayor Offers Criminals A Generous Gift, Costs Taxpayers Thousands - Duration: 3:10.

Here's another story to add to your, "What the heck is going on in CA?"

folder.

We've talked about California.

A lot.

Not a day goes by when we learn something crazy about the Golden State.

We know that there are many patriots in California.

You're just as fed up with your liberal leadership as we are.

More so probably.

Yet, despite the hard-working people who keep that state afloat, California Democrats are

dead set on ruining it.

Gov. Jerry Brown has all but torched the state's future.

He's neglecting needed infrastructure repairs, including building much-needed reservoirs.

Instead, he wants to spend billions on a frivolous high-speed rail.

Just to keep the unions happy.

That's not to mention his continued support of illegal immigrants.

This, as hundreds of thousands of Americans live on the street.

Now a California mayor has another insane plan.

This one really takes the cake.

From Breitbart:

Stockton, California, Mayor Michael Tubbs (D) is proposing $1,000 for people considered

"most likely to shoot somebody."

Fox & Friends reports that Tubbs' plan would offer potential shooters "18 months of counseling"

and the money if they avoid getting into trouble.

The Los Angeles Times reports that financial incentives for potential shooters is part

of a "program … called Advance Peace."

It is being advertised as a way to reach shooters before they act on their proclivities, using

the money and the counseling to lure them away from violence.

Tubbs said, "Let me be clear, Advance Peace is not a get out of jail free card.

Participating in this program doesn't erase the past, but it does help these young men

learn how to make better choices for their own and our community's collective future."

The Advance Peace program is being pushed along with a $500-a-month guaranteed basic

income for "a select group of residents."

M-hm.

And does this "select group of residents," come from Mexico?

Perhaps illegally?

I mean, come on.

Do any of the left's plans not involve stealing money from taxpayers?

Everything they want to do requires shelling out insane amounts of tax dollars.

Can't they do something that isn't a terrible burden on hard-working Americans?

The entire platform of the left is built around punishing Americans and rewarding the undeserving.

This one is really stupid.

Tubbs (great name, btw) wants to bribe criminals, hoping they'll just turn themselves in for

1000 bucks.

Really good plan Tubbs.

Perhaps your best.

Does he seriously think this is going to work?

You know the best way to stop criminals is?

Cops!

Why don't you take all that money you want to give to criminals and use it to hire more

police?

They are the ones risking their lives to keep Stockton safe.

And—despite the ongoing hit job they receive from the media—most cops do a really good

job.

The only time a city suffers is when the cops aren't properly equipped or prepared.

Or brain dead liberals waste money on idiotic ideas.

Perhaps Stockton needs a new mayor.

And fast.

Tesla crashes into parked police car in California - Duration: 3:58.

Police in Laguna Beach, California, say a Tesla Model S crashed into a parked patrol

car.

The driver, who suffered minor injuries, told investigators Autopilot was engaged at the

time of the accident.

Local news channel ABC7 reports the incident happened on the morning of May 29 on Laguna

Canyon Road.

Though the investigation is ongoing, the first police officers who arrived at the scene noted

the force of the impact pushed the Ford Explorer over the sidewalk.

Both cars sustained a substantial amount of damage; police declared the patrol car a total

loss.

Luckily, it was unoccupied at the time of the impact.

We don't know exactly what happened or how fast the Tesla was driving.

The investigation will reveal whether Autopilot malfunctioned, or if this represents yet another

case of technology-aided distracted driving.

Police sergeant Jim Cota noted the crash happened in the same spot a Tesla collided with a semi

last year.

"Why do these vehicles keep doing that?

We're just lucky people aren't getting injured," Cota told the Los Angeles Times.

Tesla hasn't commented on the cause of the crash.

We imagine that will soon change.

Company co-founder and CEO Elon Musk recently criticized members of the media for covering

accidents involving Tesla's vehicles.

Speaking during a conference call, he explained he's tired of the bad press and pledged

to release quarterly safety reports to persuade drivers and journalists that the system makes

driving safer, not more dangerous.

The company nonetheless acknowledges some drivers use Autopilot improperly on a regular

basis.

"When using Autopilot, drivers are continuously reminded of their responsibility to keep their

hands on the wheel and maintain control of the vehicle at all times.

Tesla has always been clear that Autopilot doesn't make the car impervious to all accidents,

and before a driver can use Autopilot, they must accept a dialogue box which states that

'Autopilot is designed for use on highways that have a center divider and clear lane

markings,'" a Tesla spokesperson told Digital Trends.

The accident is the latest in a surprisingly long string of Autopilot-related crashes this

year.

Earlier in May, a 28-year old woman suffered a broken ankle when her Tesla Model S slammed

into the back of a fire truck parked at a light on the outskirts of Salt Lake City.

Reviewing the vehicle's logs revealed she had Autopilot turned on but used the system

improperly because she regularly took her hands off the steering wheel.

She admitted she was looking at her phone before the impact.

In March, the 38-year old driver of a Model X died after his crossover drove into a concrete

divider on Highway 101 in Mountain View, California.

He had engaged Autopilot, but he took his hands off the steering wheel moments before

the collision.

In January, another Model S rear-ended a fire engine at 65 mph in Culver City, California.

The driver blamed Autopilot; the investigation into the crash remains open.
