General Motors reveals an app that lets mobile phone users contact drivers simply by scanning their number plates
General Motors’ Chinese research and development arm has announced its idea of a smartphone app – dubbed DiDi Plate - enabling drivers to text others, by simply scanning their number plate with their camera.
In its promotional video for the technology, GM uses a man asking the girl in front of him on a date, as well as a woman scanning the number plate of the car that’s blocking her in a parking space as examples of how the app would be used.
