An example of a digital ID.
Your physical driver’s license may someday become a quaint symbol of a bygone era.
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced this week that a slew of cities will now accept a Colorado Digital ID during traffic stops. The latest additions are Brighton, Broomfield, Cherry Hills Village, Colorado Springs, Denver, Durango, Lakewood, Loveland, Morrison Parker, Thornton, Vail, and Windsor. More and more businesses are also adopting the technology.
A major goal of the digital ID program is to reduce how much time officers spend on the side of the road during a traffic stop. They are vulnerable to being hit by passing cars.
