It’s where you decouple the vehicle information (make, model, plate) from the PII (registered owner information)

License plate numbers are generally considered PII in their own right. A tuple of make, model, color, and year range is getting awfully close to an equivalent on its own as well.

no they're not. PII has to be able to identify an individual.

anyone can in theory be driving a car. is it my wife, or me, or my kid taking the station wagon out this weekend?

it's also why red light cameras and speed camera send tickets to the registered owner, not necessarily who is driving. my sister in law borrows the car and I get the ticket
