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.

Caveat: Californians who add a driver's license to their Apple or Google wallets must still carry their physical ID card as required by law.

What’s the point, then? I thought the reason for a digital ID was so you didn’t always need the physical one with you.

It's so those companies can connect your profile to your driving record.

Politicians in Texas would love this. They want you to verify your identity to view certain sites.
