I don’t even remember mine unless I’m going somewhere I know doesn’t have NFC. It’s a flimsy, shitty wallet that I only bring to flimsy, shitty points of sale and I’d really like to not bring it at all.

I’ve never understood the appeal of digital driver’s licenses. If I get pulled over, there’s no fucking way I’m unlocking my phone and handing it to a cop.

For me it’d be more of a backup plan in case I forgot my wallet

As I recall, you don’t need to unlock your phone to share your ID.
You tap an NFC reader with your locked phone
The reader asks you to share certain information (for example, a bar might just ask for birthday and photo)
you approve the encrypted data share via biometrics
the share completes and returns to your Lock Screen

When has a cop ever approached your car with an NFC reader?

I haven’t been pulled over in years.
And the digital IDs are in the second phase of a pilot program in CA. People are still required to drive with physical IDs because the readers are not widespread.
It’s a new thing. The goal is to have readers in all sorts of places. Right not they’re basically only at airports.

Must be nice. I can’t remember the last time I drove across Louisiana and didn’t get pulled over in some podunk town whose only source of income is speeding tickets. We’ve had digital IDs here for years, and I can’t help but think that getting people to handover an unlocked phone is exactly the point.

Yeah, I can’t speak for Louisiana, but in CA the goal appears to be to avoid handing over unlocked phones, since that completely negates the privacy / security pitch behind digital IDs.

It would be useful everywhere else, apart from when pulled over by a cop. Like at a bar, grocery / liquor store while buying drinks, airport security if TSA allows it and any store which needs your ID for pickup.
No need to pull my ID out if I’m just going to pay with my phone.

All fair points. I don’t fly much and it’s been such a long time since I’ve been carded that I don’t really think about using it for stuff like that.

So now I can not have access to maps, communication, money. And identification when my phone dies. And is it really more convenient to install readers for difital licences everywhere then to just look at a licence?
I dunno I’m old but the whole idea of having my phone store everything important seems like a bad idea. I don’t even like to do banking on my phone let alone use it as a payment method.
