I don't see why this is surprising to people.
In North Texas, all toll collection has been electronic since 2010. Either you have a TollTag or a camera takes a picture of your license plate and a bill is mailed to the address associated with your license plate number (at massively inflated cost; they really want you to either get a TollTag or stay off the toll roads). All tollbooths have been ripped out of every toll road in North Texas and replaced by scanners that can operate at high speeds. Traffic now flows much better now that there isn't a bottleneck at every toll gantry and exit ramp.
