TechWIRED reports that Unisys will be supplying Queensland Transport with a new type of driver's licence, to replace the current laminated one.
The new licences will feature a smartcard that will save facial recognition information onto the chip, which can be used to compare the photo on the card, to the data on the chip, to the data on Queensland transport's servers... I think.
Hopefully it will be a contact-required smartcard, and not some RFID fraud-waiting-to-happen card.

oh goody - more info in the data banks of the Gov. Just who does this card make smarter? And as far as I can tell facial recognition software is about as reliable as an American Motorcycle.
AND! what about the cost? Is now the time for this? Bloody Government.
