I've never understood the appeal of digital driver's licenses. If I get pulled over, there's no fucking way I'm unlocking my phone and handing it to a cop.
It would be useful everywhere else, apart from when pulled over by a cop. Like at a bar, grocery / liquor store while buying drinks, airport security if TSA allows it and any store which needs your ID for pickup. No need to pull my ID out if I’m just going to pay with my phone.
All fair points. I don't fly much and it's been such a long time since I've been carded that I don't really think about using it for stuff like that.
