Connecticut is using a similar system.

My first license photo was taken when I still had hair and without my glasses on. By the time a new one was required, I'd started going bald, the lenses and cameras in use had changed (part of the upgrade to the 'new system,' I'm sure) and DMV didn't ask me to remove my glasses.

Of course, as seemed to be happening for two out of three people in line, it failed to match, and, as seemed to be happening for two out of three people in line, I had to wait 10-15 minutes while someone with authority approved the override.

But had I not offered, they would've forgotten to collect my expired license (as required), which could've been passed on to someone else. Oops!

(Of course, a database would allow law enforcement to determine an expired license was renewed and should be suspect if found in the wild... No idea if such abilities exist.)

phone == photo?

recognises your face by scanning your phone!

"The software scans the phone and compares different parts of the face with millions of others in its database"


It can scan a persons phone from there photo? Now that's f***king clever.
