There's some consternation online about Apple's initiate to add digital driver's licenses and IDs to Apple Wallet.

Folks are saying there's no way they'd hand cops their unlocked phones during a traffic stop, and have the officer take their phone back to their cruiser for verification.

But the system as designed will not require that, and has other clever, safety-and-privacy protections built in.

Personally, I can't wait. It's another step toward replacing my wallet and keys with digital equivalents. It won't be long now before all you need to leave home is just your iPhone.
