    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.
