According to a press release from Governor Newsom's office, the program will launch in the coming weeks. We're partnering with two iconic California companies, Apple and Google, to provide convenient, private and secure driver's licenses and ID cards directly on people's phones.
After going through the often-fussy face-scanning process, you'll apparently be able to use the QR codes this thing generates to go through airport TSA, or to verify that you're 21 to buy alcohol and such.
I never quite understand this notion...that getting your phone out of your pocket is supposedly so much easier than getting your wallet out of your pocket.
My wallet never asks me for a passcode, never tries to push Face ID on me, and notably, the battery never goes dead on my wallet.
