Therefore, drivers with experience are unlikely to give up their standard driver's license anytime soon.
In an interview with RT, automotive industry expert Mikhail Kolodochkin expressed his views on digital driver's licenses, highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.
He noted the positive side in the possibility of eliminating the need to carry physical documents, as originally envisioned. The idea that identification can take place exclusively through electronic means seems quite promising to Mikhail Kolodochkin.
However, according to the expert, there is a technical problem related to possible failures, which delays the implementation of this idea. This may lead to mixed reviews and resistance from car owners. He also noted that drivers with more experience will prefer to have physical documents with them to ensure reliability, while young drivers, on the contrary, may be more open to innovations.
Earlier, Alexander Bashkin, a member of the Federation Council's constitutional committee, shared with RIA Novosti a positive assessment of digital driver's licenses, emphasizing their advantages.
In addition, the Russian Ministry of Digitization has already prepared a draft government decree proposing to equate electronic driving licenses with physical ones, which could be a new step in the digitalization of this sphere.
