Ready for a Digital Driver's License? - Comments Page 1

wha hoppens if you don't have a smart fone?

Good grief. NOT EVERYONE HAS OR CAN AFFORD A SMARTPHONE. Let's not do this, o.k.?

No one has yet produced any system that hasn't been hacked. After hacking the methodology is readily obtained-shared by other criminals. This is a poor idea as it tends to remove the likelihood an actual person will be involved in the security process. At least an actual person might possibly have the judgment to suspect something's wrong.

No way.....

666.....coming soon.

I agree that not everyone has a smartphone. I am highly annoyed at stores that only send out coupons to people who Have smartphones! No to DDL's unless it is an "extra" And Cards are still the main ID.

I think the article says, " The DDL is not intended to replace a physical license card, but to supplement it". So it does not do away with the drivers license you carry in your wallet. I see nothing wrong with a digital license. It adds another layer of protection to a physical ID card.

That's what I want...my drivers license online. How unsafe could it be?

Well Robert, we are fat and lazy and want to make those infernal checkout lines lightning fast. After all we are always in a hurry to go nowhere. Great for law enforcement. This ID and a bank card could relieve you of you money at the speed of light. Oh wait; don't need a bank card anymore got a smart phone to pay (or play) with.

Lots of fraud potential. That's OK though; we can solve that problem, lets just inject this microchip into your body. After all you can't access your million dollar account without it.

As GuitarRebel said "666" is going to be tough on true believers.

Are you one? No!

No No No. Too hackable! Just another way for Big Brother to track your every move.

I no longer trust any type of online "security". If they want another means of I.D., I'd be willing to have it tattooed on my butt! ; D

EVERY person should be SCREAMING from the rafters to keep this from happening. There are still people without cell phones.

PLEASE - NO! I have had my personal information taken from the federal government, from my state government and from stores where I do business. So, tell me why this is a good idea. Tell me why I should trust this, please.

Sure, why not? WHAT could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Lots of things, actually. My financial records were exposed in the Experian breach, and all my military records (apparently including the forms that I filed for my top secret security clearance) were stolen by China during the OPM hack. My medical records have been stolen, and I've had to have all of my credit cards cancelled and replaced four times in the last three years. And with "Motor Voter", a lot of states are tying voting records to drivers' licenses.

We Americans apparently SUCK at electronic security. We need to have SOME physical, NON-ELECTRONIC forms of identification.

Driver's license on my smart phone? In a world where it is only a question of time until the next layer of security gets hacked? What could go wrong?

I can't hold a driving licence due to epilepsy, don't have a smart phone because I don't see the need and value my privacy, and, fortunately, reside in the UK, so probably won't need a driving licence, digital or otherwise, to give me "permission to exist officially and engage in commerce" for a while yet.

The US seem to export these sorts of ideas even though, judging by the previous comments, virtually nobody actually approves of them.

Then what happens if your smartphone has a dead battery and no way to charge it? Good luck with proving your identity! The physical product is always better!

All this is about $$$.If you can't pay,you can't play.Ordinary Citizens are the losers, with Hardly any security for us,but BIG Corp. are the winners,because they Always make sure they get PAID ! If they want to mess up someone,they Press a Button.

No Way will I take the 'mark of the beast'; I'll be the first to die; or the second if some bastard tries to force it on me.
