Another arrow leads from 'embedded tag (active)' to text further over to the right, which reads 'plate self-destructs if tampered with'. A third arrow leads from 'embedded tag (active)' to text directly below it. This reads 'encrypted ID no.'. An arrow leads from 'encrypted ID no.' to text below it, which reads 'sent to central database'. An arrow leads from 'sent to central database' to text below it, which reads 'matched with vehicle details'.

Two arrows lead from this to 'started 2001' and 'A million pounds cost to date'.
