Will driving license be obsolete in the future ?

Who will develop this? Ubisoft Auto, inc.

There's a frightening thought...

Scarier thought: The Apple iCar:

[Salesman] Yes, the Apple iCar is a quantum leap forward in automotive engineering and a re-imagining of the total concept of what the driving experience should be.

[Customer] Are there any downsides?

[Salesman] None at all. You have the rich history of Apple innovation and quality to support your purchase.

[Customer] OK, I'll buy one!

[Salesman] Sign here.(Customer signs.) Now the condition of ownership are these: you can only use Apple tires, parts, fuel, and any other items pertaining to the operation of the vehicle. Please note the iCar will not function unless you also buy an Apple iPhone or iPad. Also, it is expected you will buy a new iCar at least once a year when Apple makes upgrades to the iCar. As a new, original iCar owner, you will be given Priority Status guaranteeing you a place in at least the second one hundred customer waiting to buy the next iCar upgrade. Enjoy your motoring experience!...

Driving licenses won't become obsolete as they are the most common form of ID used when casting a vote in an election. Hint Hint

Tuesday is Election day in many of the states. Hint Hint hint.

Please vote. Hint Hint Hint hint

You could be right I wasn't thinking outside the box(Europe) Here, well in most of the countries we have identification card(ID-card) Of course you can also use the driving license or your passport, but about 90-95 % of the people in Denmark and Sweden use their ID-card.

National ID cards is a contentious issue in the US.

After all, if we have a national ID card, The Government (cue dramatic music) could easily throw us in concentration camps. But since we have state ID cards, we are safe.

Didn't the Feds do an end run around the issue a few years back by standardizing state DLs?
