Not sure if true, but someone raised an issue when this was first announced. That you can no longer refuse to unlock your phone when stopped, since you’ll have to unlock it to show your digital driver’s license.

    I suppose it could be used to streamline ID verification for online purchases? I vape, and whenever I order supplies online I have to go through an ID verification process, usually involving uploading a photo of my driver’s license to some system. If they had a way to tokenize this step, that would make the ordering process a lot simpler.

    Could also perhaps be used for something like carding at a bar; just a quick tap on their tablet and they don’t have to sit there looking for watermarks and stuff if you look too young to be there.
