Is it safe to leave ETC devices in the car?

[LaylaMarie]

ETC devices are safe to leave in the car and cannot be fraudulently scanned. ETC is an electronic toll collection system used for automatic tolling on highways or bridges. It utilizes dedicated short-range communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the car and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations. Through internet technology, it conducts backend settlement processing with banks, enabling vehicles to pay highway or bridge tolls without stopping at toll stations. The ETC system employs automatic vehicle identification technology to complete wireless data communication between vehicles and toll stations, achieving automatic vehicle recognition and exchange of relevant toll data. By using computer networks to process toll data, it realizes a fully automated electronic toll collection system without the need for stopping or toll booths.
