Incorporating digital IDs is one of the headline features for the upcoming Google Wallet. Google is working with states to make this possible, and at least initially, the company is promising to let you store a digital version of your driver’s license. Meanwhile, car manufacturer partners, like BMW, are expected to make their digital car keys compatible with Wallet as well.
Another thing Google trumpets quite loudly is Wallet’s enhanced security. Automatically way more secure than your average physical wallet, it build onto that with encrypted purchases, fine data control and privacy. The company promises that all of this sensitive data such as digital IDs, Covid vaccines and more is stored straight on the phone and is never shared without permission, including with Google.
