Two next steps:

RFIDing people ... though mobile phones have almost done that.

Authorities having the capability to remotely control/disable vehicles (probably coming with self-driving cars).

No, in the west license plates are used for that. But the hardware for reading them is more expensive and it's probably easier to make them unreadable than an RFID tag built into the car.
