The VIN isn't transmitted wirelessly though. The article mentions that it is possible to build antennas that can extend the reception range by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, so 300m (the proposed design range) may be stalked from as far away as 30km (2 orders of magnitude) or even more.
Place strategically a few of these antennas and you can monitor a huge area.

License plate + state = GUID.
Did you respond to the wrong comment? I don't think the parent commenter is debating that a license plate identifies a vehicle.
Nope. I said GUID, they said VIN, I was clarifying that I was talking about the license plate not the VIN.
