The marketing material is misleading / naive. Cops routinely ask for ids at traffic stop and take them to their vehicle to verify the driver details in their system. I would imagine they would do the same with digital id and therefore one would need to hand them an unlocked phone as California digital DL doesn't appear to integrate with Apple Wallet yet?

Here in Denmark we also have a driver's license app. The app has a feature through which the user can identify themself to another party using the same app on their phone.

When used to identify, the app displays a series of QR codes which can be recorded by the 2nd phone through the camera. No need to hand over th e phone. It tranfers identifying information such as name, age and the photo so that the 2nd party can use it to validate on their screen.
